Back on Track blankets work by utilizing your body's heat to reflect far infrared radiation through their unique Welltex® material, providing a therapeutic effect.
Back on Track products, including their popular blankets, incorporate a specialized fabric known as Welltex®. This material is the core of their technology and its function is based on the properties of ceramic textiles.
Understanding Welltex Technology
[1] The key to how these blankets work lies in the Welltex material. According to reference [1], Welltex material uses the same properties to create a therapeutic ceramic textile by melting ceramic powder into the fabric. This process embeds ceramic particles directly into the fibers of the fabric.
The Mechanism
When a Back on Track blanket is worn, it interacts with the body's natural heat. Here's a simple breakdown:
- Body Heat Absorption: The fabric absorbs the heat emanating from the body (human or animal).
- Far Infrared Reflection: The ceramic particles embedded in the Welltex material react to this heat. Instead of simply insulating, they actively reflect the heat back towards the body in the form of far infrared radiation.
- Therapeutic Effect: [1] This reflected far infrared radiation is what provides the therapeutic effect claimed by Back on Track.
Benefits of Far Infrared Radiation
While the reference specifically mentions the therapeutic effect, general understanding of far infrared radiation suggests potential benefits such as:
- Increased blood circulation
- Temporary relief of minor aches and stiffness
- Support for muscle recovery
In essence, Back on Track blankets don't generate heat; they reflect the body's own heat back using their ceramic-infused Welltex fabric, delivering far infrared radiation for a therapeutic outcome.
This unique method leverages the body's natural processes to provide a non-invasive form of support.
