Building a Better Way to Recovery with a Wearable Heating Pad

HOW INFRAWAY BECAME THE WAY

Like so many breakthrough inventions, Infraway was born out of necessity. As a two-sport Division I athlete, Max Betkowski suffered a torn hip labrum before his senior season. Instead of opting for surgery, he played through the injury, relying on athletic trainers, chiropractors, and physical therapists to manage the pain. But despite endless rehab, his lower back issues persisted, and the available recovery tools were either ineffective, complicated, or required constant visits to specialists.

Frustrated with the limitations of existing solutions, Max leveraged his kinesiology and engineering background to create something better: a slim, wearable, rechargeable infrared heating wrap. A product built to move with you and blend into your warm up, recovery, and most importantly daily life.

Athlete-tested, science-backed, and built for everyone.
