By combining modern textile technology and traditional Chinese medicine which is supported by scientific studies, Back on Track creates products that help people, horses, and pets achieve a more active and comfortable life.
​
Back on Track’s joint and muscle support products are all made of functional textiles with reflective properties, and the braces are FDA-cleared. The textile is a synergy of ancient Chinese experience and modern scientific textile technology. During the manufacturing of polyester or polyester fibers, our state-of-the-art Welltex® technology made up of a proprietary ceramic and mineral solution is infused into the fibers. When worn or used, these particles radiate energy back towards the body. This reflection is long-wave radiation, which is also known as long-wave infrared radiation.
​
It is well established and documented that long wave infrared radiation increases the blood circulation. The increased blood circulation in the tissues helps to relieve muscle tension and improves performance. When manufacturing the polyester and polypropylene fibers that Back on Track products are made of, ceramic particles are fused into the textile fibers. The selection of these ceramic particles is based on which absorption and emission spectrum they contain. The result is that when the ceramic particles absorb the body’s heat radiation, they expel heat of a specific wavelength, which is based in the long-wave infrared zone of the thermal radiation spectrum. It is well established and documented that long wave infrared radiation has a pain reducing effect and increases blood circulation. Just like other materials, the body’s tissues have their own absorption spectrum. The wavelength that the ceramic particles issue is absorbed in the cells. A signal is sent to the brain telling it that energy has increased, to which the brain opens up the veins. The absorption happens not only in the skin but also deeper down the tissue, which makes the veins wider not only superficially but also in the muscles and around the joints. The increased blood circulation in the tissues relieves muscle tension and strengthens the body’s own ability to reduce inflammations and heal injuries. The products are therefore often used in cases where inflammation is part of the problem. Another important application is injury prevention, which you get when the protections are used for training and competition.
