Back on Track - Neck Strap for Back Warmer

What is Welltex®?

At Back on Track, we use a unique mineral-infused textile that we call Welltex. Welltex has heat-reflecting properties. The textile is a blend of ancient Chinese methods and modern scientific textile technology. Dr Erland Beselin discovered a type of pain-relieving treatment developed in ancient China. This involved applying a special type of marble stone to sore muscles. The Chinese specifically sought out and used a particular form of this marble, which contained a specific combination of metal oxides that gave it its ability to reflect heat and relieve pain. Due to its growing popularity, this specific marble was in high demand, which encouraged the Chinese to experiment with alternative clays that also contained metal oxides. They fired these clays to form mineral tiles that could then be applied in the same way as the marble stones.

How Welltex® is made

The minerals are ground into a fine powder and then infused into the fibres of the fabric at a very high temperature. This means that the fabrics in our products have the same effect as the minerals.

How Welltex® works

Welltex® fabric captures the heat naturally emitted by your body, converts it into a form of infrared thermal radiation, and reflects it back into your skin, bones, muscles and joints. Infrared radiation is a well-known form of energy used to enhance well-being and produces a beneficial effect, particularly for muscles and joints. The reflected heat helps to reduce muscle tension by supporting blood circulation, which can aid the recovery process from injuries and exertion. Since humans and animals radiate body heat during both rest and activity, the products can be used both overnight and during exercise itself. However, at rest, the radiation is lower than when the body is active. Therefore, the most effective approach is to use the products both at rest and during physical activity on the most exposed areas. Back on Track® products work naturally using your own body heat, meaning there is no risk of them being classed as doping. No external heat is added. The result is an even, soothing warmth created exclusively by reflecting body heat.
