Back on Track is the name of this unique range of pain-relief products. They evolved from a combination of ancient Chinese experience, modern scientific findings and skilled textile production. The result is a fabric of polyester with a ceramic powder melted into the threads.
The ceramic reflects body heat as an infrared wave, a form of energy that has a documented pain relieving effect. This reflected heat can reduce inflammation, ease muscle tension, increase blood circulation and hasten the healing process.

A blind study on horses with chronic back problems showed that they had a 50% improvement of the movement capability after three weeks with Back on Track.

Back on Track products can be used to warm up your muscles before physical exercise or work, thereby reducing the risk of strains or injury. Most importantly, they can also expedite the recovery from established injuries.

Back on Track is also available in the form of clothing and bedding products, as well as joint and muscle braces for most parts of the human body.   Back on Track can provide an easy, comfortable and effective contribution to a life of effective health and well being.

Clinical Study on Back on Track Products

"We have shown that heat will result in alterations in the body, that will diminish pain and chronic inflammation", says Thomas Lundeberg, associate professor in physiology at the Karolinska hospital (ref; The Swedish journal Health "Hälsa" nr 9, 2000). A doctor interested in this subject is Dr Rose-Marie Brinkeborn, who has conducted a clinical study on the efficacy of Back on Track (BoT) braces together with colleagues and physiotherapists.

The study included 120 patients who had experienced pain caused by either arthrosis of the knee or tennis elbow for a period of at least 3 months. The subjects were randomly separated into two equal sized groups, and their levels of pain were immediately evaluated on a scale ranging from little pain to considerable pain. One group of patients were required to use the braces for a three week period, then stop using them and revert to their own previous methods of pain management for the next three weeks. Simultaneously, the other half of the patients, who had been instructed to rely on their normal methods of pain management for the first three week period, were now instructed to use the braces for the ensuing three weeks.

The overall results of the study are not yet finalized, but it has been established already that more than half of them had less pain when they were using the braces. Those with tennis elbow often went back to normal, and some of the patients with knee arthrosis, who had been living with pain for a long time and were booked for prosthesis surgery, felt so relieved from pain that they could exercise again, and chose to postpone their surgery!

In the daily paper Svenska Dagbladet (January 25th, 2003), Dr Xyao Huishen who worked at the rehabilitation medical clinic at Karolinska hospital expressed: "These braces have no adverse effects if the right size is used". In a later paper, Massage and Bodycare 1/2004, Dr. Huishen, after gathering additional knowledge of the products, states: "In principle, besides drugs, there is nothing else that offers such reproducible results on patients who have inflammation generated pain."



An example of how the study subjects evaluated pain on a scale (visual analogue scale). Movement capability was also evaluated in a different diagram. "So far there is no subject who has not had some kind of improvement with these ceramic braces", says Dr Brinkeborn to the journal Allas early on in the study.
