ABSTRACT:
An elastic garment and method of using same are disclosed for providing therapeutic results as well as improved endurance and stamina. The garment includes six component parts which can be used in various combinations. Each component part is made of an elastic material so as to act in a compressive manner on the body part which it surrounds. A pant-like portion of the garment extends from the waist downwardly through two leg segments to a location beneath the knee joints. A pair of tubular leg portions extend from the feet upwardly beyond the knee joints so as to form an overlap with the leg sections of the pant-like portion. In a similar manner, a coat-like portion is worn around the upper torso or chest and includes depending sleeves which extend beyond the elbow joints. Tubular arm portions extend from the wrists upwardly beyond the elbow joint to form an overlap with the sleeves. Terminal edges of each component part have enlarged beads formed therein which act like garters in compressing the veins and arteries in the circulatory system. The method includes the steps of providing the various component parts and placing them on the body of a user in accordance with the manner in which the parts are adapted to be placed on the body.
