Welltex® is Back on Track's first and most well-known technology, a synergy between ancient Chinese experience and modern scientific textile technology.
What is Welltex?
Welltex® contains a unique blend of natural minerals that are crushed into a fine powder and then, with the help of modern technology, blended into the threads of the basic material for our fabrics. The minerals capture body heat and convert it into long-wave infrared energy, which is reflected back to your skin, joints and muscles.
Infrared energy is known for its ability to increase blood circulation, which can help during recovery from injuries or tense muscles.
How does Welltex work?
The fibers in Welltex® are durable and strong, which makes them perfect in our products for preparation and recovery. People and animals emit body heat during both rest and activity, so the products can be used when it suits you best.
You get the greatest effect from Welltex® technology during activity when the body temperature rises and the reflection becomes stronger. All our products have optimal breathability, which makes them comfortable to use as the heat is not trapped or insulated. It is the infrared energy that gives the well-known Back on Track effect.
How to use Welltex
ur products with Welltex® technology will be introduced gradually to accustom the body to the effect.
Follow our instructions for use for best results.
START USING BACK ON TRACK
Our products will be introduced gradually to accustom the body to the effect. Use the product for a maximum of 4 hours for the first 2-3 days and then gradually increase by one hour at a time.
AFTER THE INTRODUCTORY PERIOD
After the introductory period, the products should be used for at least 8 hours per day, preferably longer. Even after an hour or so, a positive effect on tense muscles and stiff joints is often experienced. For maximum effect, it can take 10-20 days before results are achieved.
Then use the product according to the pattern you feel is effective. This can be, for example, longer use during a period and then breaks, or shorter periods of time where the product is used for a few hours daily during activity or during the night.
If you experience that the effect wears off after a while, it may be a good idea to take a break from the product. After the neutralisation period, you can then reintroduce the product.
INITIAL REACTIONS OF THE PRODUCTS
The increased blood flow can in some cases cause some people to experience irritation, swelling or tenderness in the problem area at first. The reaction is individual and everyone experiences the effect in different ways.
Horses and dogs can also react at the introduction. Therefore, pay attention to how your pet behaves and reacts when using the products.
The initial reaction may occur after only a few hours of use. If you experience discomfort, the product should not be used on the same day. Instead, try introducing the product more gradually over the next few days.
GOOD TO KNOW
Humans and animals emit body heat during both rest and activity, so the products can be used when it suits you best. You get the greatest effect during activity when the body temperature rises and the reflection becomes stronger.
Our products work best when in direct contact with the skin, but also work with a thin layer of fabric underneath.
Use the product only according to the instructions and consult a doctor if symptoms persist. If you are undergoing treatment for a disease, feel free to consult your doctor if you are unsure about how the product affects your treatment.
Care instructions are available on product label or packaging.
DO NOT wash with Fabric Softener as this will break down the particles in the Welltex material.
