Thermal Compression Shirt

Abstract

A thermal garment is tight fitting, often known as a compression shirt, and has a raw or composition rubber sleeve portion, which can be applied to either or both shoulder parts of the garment and/or to either or both elbow parts of the garment, with said rubber portion being covered in fabric and being attached to the garment and replacing that original portion of said garment. The garment with a composition sleeve portion is designed to avoid injury due to extreme playing conditions or improper muscle tension incurred by athletes, by insuring heat and compression to the shoulder joint or to the elbows. The garment also uses heat from the thermal portion of the garment to help in healing the area covered by way of thermotherapy (the use of heat on muscles, joints, tendons, and ligaments which increases blood flow to expedite the healing process).
