Abstract

A wrap is configured for positioning at different sites including the ankle, calf, knee, thigh, lower arm, elbow, upper arm, neck, shoulder and torso including the lower back. The wrap is formed from laminated closed-cell neoprene so that it is elastically deformable. The wrap has a therapy section with a pocket sized to receive a gel pack that can be heated or cooled to apply the desired thermal therapy. Long connecting ears extend outwardly near the top of the therapy section and short connecting ears extend outwardly near the bottom. One ear of the long connecting ears and one ear of the short connecting ears has the hook portion of a hook and pile type connector with the material laminated to the neoprene selected to function as the pile portion of a hook and pile type connector. A strap also formed from closed-cell neoprene has a material laminated to function as the pile portion and has a hook portion at one end. The strap is attached to the long ears to extend as needed so that the wrap may be positioned about the shoulder, torso and neck of the user.
