The use of ceramic materials to help athletes recover faster has gained popularity in recent years, but their use isn’t a trend. The right ceramic material can make a large difference in the health and well-being of humans and animals alike. The use of ceramic material in wearable products, such as our Ceramix product range, encourages natural healing and health for soft tissues because of the reflection of thermal energy back into the body.
Ceramic Therapy
Using products with ceramic fibers woven and fused into the fabric allows for using the natural heat energy to be used on your body. The ceramic fabric reflects the body heat back into the body through what is called Far Infrared Rays (FIR).
Far infrared therapy goes deep and gently elevates the body’s temperature, much like natural inflammation. But don’t worry; this does not cause additional pain or discomfort to you or your horse. It’s completely safe, and the use of reflective material such as ceramic-infused fabrics will take that natural increase and bounce it back into the body, thus activating the body’s natural healing mechanisms.
Benefits of Ceramic Therapy
Ceramic therapy has many preventative benefits and can Far infrared radiation increases the circulation of the blood, which aids in healing and pain relief in a natural way. The blood vessels expand, thus fueling more blood to help aid working muscles and repair any damage.
Think of it this way: Your muscles have been tense and sore, so you use a heating pad or a cream that gets hot as you massage it on your skin. That heat relaxes your muscles, relieving the tension and pain. It a similar concept when you were using a brace or a wrap made of ceramic fibers, no smelly cream or electric cords needed.
Other uses for ceramic therapy include use before and after a workout. Your warm-up time can be reduced if the material has been used sufficiently before tacking up. And then your muscles will stay pliable after a workout because the warmth prevents them from cooling down too rapidly, thus causing stiffness.
Also, if your horse is on stall rest, one of the biggest worries you might have is stocking up. The use of ceramic therapy can prevent stocking up because of the use of body heat to keep the blood circulating as if the horse was more mobile.
Of course, as with any mode of therapy or medicine, take some time to consult with your veterinarian about the best direction to take when it comes to alternative therapies such as ceramic therapy. Be sure to read and follow instructions with the products and become familiar with proper use and proper placement to get the maximum positive effects.
Easy To Use
Applying the aid of ceramic therapy is easy because the application is fast and pain-free. Ceramix products can be used anywhere, any time, and after an introductory period of the products to your horse, they can even be left on overnight or unsupervised.
Ceramic therapy products are machine washable, however, they should never be put in a dryer (only air dried). The infused fibers cannot be washed out, meaning our products have a long lifespan.
