Plankton Size Groups. 1  Microplankton - Organisms 20-200 micrometers, e.g., phytoplankton and small zooplankton. 2  Mesoplankton - Organisms 200 micrometers to 2 centimeters, e.g., phytoplankton and zooplankton such as copepods. At this size, the plankton are visible to the naked eye.
Paraffin can also be beneficial for rehabilitation of sports injuries and other physical trauma. At the Nail Spa at FAC you can have the treatment performed as an additional service to your manicure and/or pedicure. Paraffin treatment is a form of deep heat therapy. Liquified paraffin wax is very efficient at absorbing and retaining heat. When you dip your hand or foot, for example, into the paraffin bath, heat transfers from the wax into the affected area as the wax solidifies. The heat increases circulation and relieves pain and stiffness.
Bear in mind that heating is for muscle knots or trigger points and muscle spasm, but not for physically injured muscle â muscle strains, pulled muscles, torn muscles. Damaged muscle is usually inflamed, not in spasm, and trigger points are a minor factor in the aftermath of the injury.
