Back on Track: How Welltex ® Technology Supports Horse Health Back on Track products are known for making a significant dif- ference in the health and well-being of people, pets, and horses. The reason behind this isn't a secret. It's science. The company is an indus- try leader in innovative textile technologies that support prepara- tion, performance, and recovery. Welltex is Back on Track's most well-known textile technology. Found exclusively in Back on Track products, Welltex, a propri- etary textile solution embedded in all its materials reflects body heat in the form of far infrared energy (FIR), stimulating circulation and supporting natural healing pro- cesses. Research shows the effects of FIR can benefit the health of both animals and people. Further development behind Back on Tracks Welltex tech- nology has evolved and now includes Iontex® and Hae- matex®. Iontex is a Welltex technology that is lighter and more flexible and is optimal for use in active lifestyle garments and accessories while Haematex provides high elasticity and light support with a pleasant feeling of compression. Unlike other ceramic products, Back on Track uses a proprietary textile solution made of ceramic and mineral fibers embedded into its fabric for maximum benefit. Every Back on Track product features high-performance functional fabrics and anatomically con- scious design. (Continued on page 16) If you have horses, you need hay!
