ABSTRACT:
A prevention and therapeutic support system for body parts susceptible to repetitive strain injury comprising an assembly having a centrally located gel-pack sandwiched between, upper and lower foam layers each having downwardly depending perimeter edges which when placed adjacent to one another form a cavity into which the gel-pack can be placed, the foam layers to to completely encompassing the gel-pack during use, the gel-pack substantially filling the cavity, the gel-pack and foam layers being placed into an outer covering into which maintains the foam in its optimal position around the gel-pack during use, the outer envelope has an opening through which the foam layer and gel-pack can be moved for independent heating and cooling of the gel-pack, the gel-pack being capable of being both heated and chilled, the viscous non-hardening gel material in the gel-pack being able to maintain hot and cold temperatures for extended periods of time. Applications may include, but are not limited to, use to prevent and treat cumulative trauma, such as the pain, muscle spasm, and inflammation of joints associated with the repetitive strain injury experienced by nail technicians in their elbows after several hours of work.
