Remedy for backache featuring Jonlivia Activ Hotbelt V2


Over the years, I have done quite some damage to my lower back. Performing procedures on patients when bending forward, pushing patients' trolley etc (occupational hazard but unfortunately the awareness about back care and occupational health is not so strong here). After delivering baby Bing, the problem became worse. Having to breastfeed him, often long hours in a row when he was younger, put me in a crouched position most of the time. That's when my back ache really becomes a problem.

So, how can we manage backache without resorting to painkillers?

Firstly, observe back care etiquettes. Physiotherapy is an established and effective way to relieve pain and prevent further injuries. Read this article from NZ physiotherapy association.

Based on these principles, Jonlivia Activ Hotbelt V2 should work wonders for back pain. The science behind it is tourmaline- a gem stone that emits Far Infrared Radiation (FIR) when in contact with skin. The interesting thing is that since our skin is warm, the tourmaline woven fabric actually absorbs FIR from our skin then reemits as heat.

Therefore, this belt does not need an additional energy source.  And that's why it takes time to heat up. It's very similar to the concept of sauna. Studies have shown promising results in reduction of pain and weight loss. For those who wants to read more about the science behind this.

I really like the belt because it's light. When worn, the steel bars provided support to the lower back to maintain good posture.

I wore it underneath my t shirt and could barely made it out.

As the belt heated up, it did so gradually and I first felt a tingly sensation around 5 to 10 minutes. It got really hot after 30 minutes. I realised the hotter or wetter my skin was, the faster it took to heat up. I took the belt off after an hour because the heat became a bit overwhelming just like why we can't stay in the sauna for too long.

There's red marks around my waist but it faded shortly after that.  Don't worry if you sweat because the components can be wiped in plain water.


The verdict- I woke up with a back ache and it disappeared after the first use! Nice warm and fuzzy feeling around my waist afterwards. The pain relief and the warm effect lasted at least the whole day.


It's really interesting. Try it out now!
