Back on Track Hock Protector

The hock protector with hole has 3 Velcro fasteners. The inside is lined with cotton (50%) and polyester (50%), while the outside of the protector consists of neoprene.

To prevent any slippage, we recommend bandaging the leg with a stable bandage or using the Back on Track Royal Stable Protector. This reduces the risk of the heel protector slipping down or being pulled too tight to keep it in place. The protector may be also available without hole.

The hock protectors are sold individually and are available for both the left leg and the right leg in 4 sizes.

Please note: We only deliver a number of sizes of this product to order and therefore have a slightly longer delivery time than usual, about 5-7 working days. Feel free to call or write for more info!

This is how Back on Track works

Back on Track products are made of functional fabrics in which Welltex® is processed. Welltex is a polyester (PE) or polypropylene (PP) yarn that contains minerals that also occur in clay and green loam. The textile is a synergy between ancient Chinese experiences and modern scientific technology.

During the preparation of the polyester or polypropylene threads, ceramic particles are melted into the threads. The property of the ceramic particles is that when they are heated by body heat, they are reflected back to the body. The heat is reflected and is also referred to as infrared radiation.

Improved blood flow

Scientific research has shown that infrared energy is absorbed by the cells of the body (3). The cells send a signal to the brain that the heat in the cell is going up. This causes the blood vessels to dilate. Not only in the skin but also in the deeper tissues. This not only reaches the superficial blood vessels, but also those in the muscles and around the joints. Better blood circulation ensures the supply of nutrients and the removal of waste products and a better moisture balance.

Anti-inflammatory

The increased blood circulation in the tissues releases tension in the muscles and strengthens the body's own ability to resolve inflammation and repair damage. As a result, the Back on Track products are often used for problems involving inflammation.

Less pain

The same study showed a reduction in pain. People and animals with chronic pain can find relief during and after wearing Back on Track products.

Faster recovery.
A scientific study into wound healing showed a faster recovery under the influence of infrared energy. Not only a wound heals faster, but also training damage to the muscles in the form of hairline cracks (muscle pain) is repaired faster.

Back on Track with Welltex® can be used preventively during preparation, during and after work. It speeds up the warm up, helps with labor and supports recovery. Using it at least half an hour before and after work already gives results. Building up to 24 hours of wear is no problem.
