If you have nagging back pain, join the thousands, including many athletes who have found relief with this bioceramic back belt.
Combines:
Magnetic energy... supplied by 26 strong grade VIII ceramic magnets, each 0.1" x 0.4" diameter.
Bioceramics... bioceramic dots absorb body heat and return it in the form of far infrared energy which penetrates the muscles and tissues to help promote circulation and relieve soreness.
Support... the high quality VelcroTM-type closure and elastic material allow the belt to be easily adjusted to provide the amount of support you find most comfortable.
Special pockets behind the magnets can be used for money and ID for joggers.
High quality construction prevents "rolling" along the edges of the belt.
The 5.5" wide belt tapers to 4" on each end. Long life cotton pile inner lining provides firm support with stretch Velcro™ closure.
A word about gauss and quality
Our magnetic products use a grade 8 ferrite ceramic magnets that are 1" in diameter and 1/6" thick. Grade 8 is the highest number commercially available ... there are no "grade 9" magnets!
We don't list gauss ratings because gauss by itself is not a good indicator of the strength of the magnet being described. There are an infinite number of individual points on a magnet so theoretically we could provide you with an infinite number of different "gauss readings" for that magnet. (As you move towards the edge of the magnet the gauss reading will increase because the field is being condensed as it pulls in towards the equator of the magnet.
You will get a different surface gauss
reading for each individual spot on the magnet that is being tested. For
instance, the magnets that we carry are made of grade VIII ferrite
ceramic magnetic material. A 1 gauss field can be
measured with a magnetometer approximately 2' away from the surface of the
magnet. When you use the a gauss meter to measure specific field
strengths the center of the magnet will be much lower than the field
strengths around the edges. The reason why it does this is because the
magnet is fairly thin and has a lot of surface area. Because the magnet is
so heavy it is able to project a field quite a far distance from the
surface, so if you can imagine that gauss is a measure of magnetic energy
then when you stretch that number over a distance there will be less of that
total number for any specific spot in that field. When the magnetic fields
meet in the middle of they are not projecting out as far, so therefore
the field will be more concentrated and as a result the spot measurement
will be larger.
As you can see, describing the size and grade of the magnet is a much more
informative way to describe a magnet's total field strength.
If you are paying attention to gauss numbers stated you may have not taken all the
individual surface gauss readings then divided them by the total number of
gauss readings to come up with an average. Companies may be just throwing
some random number out there or would only use the highest number that only
shows on the display for a fraction of a second.
Because of this, and because other companies can easily "manipulate" gauss ratings, we concentrate more on the quality of the item.
