Description
A therapeutic back pad will relax muscles and aid in injury prevention or healing.
This therapeutic back pad uses state-of-the-art Welltex fabric, which contains polyester thread embedded with a fine ceramic powder. Designed to reflect the horse’s own body-warmth, it creates a soothing infrared thermal heat, which can help alleviate pain associated with inflamed muscles, ligaments, tendons and joints. Used for both injury prevention as well as injury recovery. The back pad helps to warm up your horse’s back before exercise, loosening up the muscles. The special fabric reflects body heat and relaxes muscles. Nylon girth straps allow the use of a surcingle and is perfect for use pre-show, pre-training, or overnight under your horses blanket.

Technical description:
Material is 100% polypropylene infused with Back on Track’s revolutionary new ceramic infused fiber. Back on Track products are not to be compared with magnetic therapy- this form of therapy works with your horses own body heat. 3 x 3ft (39.5 X 39.5 in). Not approved for use on pregnant mares. Please read carefully prior to using the product.
Washing instructions:
Machine wash cool with mild detergent. Do not use fabric softener. Do not tumble dry because the product can be destroyed. Line dry only. Cool iron only.
Usage instructions:
All Back on Track products should be implemented gradually. To start with, use the product for a maximum of four hours a day for the first 2-3 days. In horses and dogs, it manifests itself as a swelling. This is due to the increased blood circulation, which is actually a good indication that the ceramic fabric is taking effect. The body then has the opportunity to familiarize itself with the fabric’s effects. After the introductory period you should up the usage to a minimum of 8 hours per day, preferably more. Specific instructions for use on horses: Keep in mind that the effect of Back and Track increases with movement when the body heat increases, so in addition to using pads and blankets in the stables, the horse can also be allowed to move around with the Back on Track products. Especially suitable in this context is Tall boots, Leg Wraps, Saddle Pads, Exercise Sheets and Blanket/Sheets. For long term problems, the horse may need to use Back on Track for an extended period. Use the product for two to three weeks and have a break one week, to see if the symptoms persist. As a preventive measure, Back on Track can be used with regular breaks. Use Back on Track 1 day before and 2 days after exercise and then stop until the next workout. For warm-up, use 1-2 hours before and 2-4 hours after exercise.
