The present invention is a finger and hand brace having a longitudinally elongated body adapted to be applied lengthwise to the wrist and finger region of the hand. The brace body has multiple flaps spaced lengthwise along the body that are configured to be wrapped about at least two of the following: hand, wrist, a finger, or fingers.
