A garment includes a longitudinal arch support configured for supporting a longitudinal arch of a foot; and a transverse arch support that extends from the longitudinal arch support and is configured for supporting a transverse arch of the foot.

Partial or whole-body therapeutic articles of clothing are provided. Each therapeutic article of clothing provides a plurality of massage protrusions disposed along an inner surface thereof for massaging, relaxing, stress relieving, and skin stimulating certain locations of the wearer's body. The inner surface may be of an elastic nature to urge the plurality of massage protrusions into the skin when each article of clothing is being worn. The massage protrusions may come in many forms and dimensions, and may be spaced apart in random or predetermined patterns to operatively associate with the portions of the wearer most in need of a pressure massage.

A therapeutic apparel article is configured with a supple wearable fabric article that can be configured over limb or nub of an amputated limb. The therapeutic apparel article is configured with a plurality of nodes for detachably attaching vibrating devices thereto. In addition, a control unit having a power source may be detachably attached to the wearable fabric article. A conductive network may extend from the control unit and/or the power source to provide electrical power to the nodes and the vibrating devices attached. A user may attach vibrating devices to various nodes of the wearable fabric article as desired. In addition, the vibrating devices and the control unit can be detached from the wearable fabric article to enable the wearable fabric article to be washed.

Disclosed is a fabric having a first side and a second side, that is provided at least on part of the first side with a pattern of protrusions, wherein the protrusions comprise an expanded heat-expanding material, namely a heat-expanding material that has been expanded by heating. A polymeric layer is provided to the woven fabric to coat at least part of the protrusions. Also disclosed is a process for the production of the fabric and a garment comprising the fabric.

Compression garment systems may include a trunk garment and a leg garment to be positioned about a trunk and leg of a body to provide compression therapy thereto. The trunk garment and the garment may include a plurality of controllable pressure applying regions to move lymph from the leg and trunk.

Methods and apparatuses (e.g., devices and systems, including garments and software) for improving rotational symmetry in a subject in need thereof. These methods and apparatuses for asymmetrically weighting the subject may engage with the subject's multifidi muscles and therefore adjust for rotational deficit in the subject.

Compression garments may include mitts and tightening apparatus to don, or put on, such compression garments. The mitts may be configured to receive a user's hand such that the user can move one or more portions of the garments using the mitts. The tightening apparatus may allow a user to selectively tighten or loosen the garments about the user's body portions. Once donned, the compression garments may apply pressure to one or more regions of the user's body such as, e.g., arm regions, shoulder regions, torso regions, and neck regions.

Compression garment systems may include a trunk garment and a leg garment to be positioned about a trunk and leg of a body to provide compression therapy thereto. The trunk garment and the garment may include a plurality of controllable pressure applying regions to move lymph from the leg and trunk.

A device for performing blood flow restriction training during the day, integrated with a garment, and controllable to apply a desired compression level to a range of muscles with the intent on improving the health and fitness of a user doing normal daily activities.

A shirt to counteract detrimental upper body movement and related methods are disclosed. A base layer has a first elasticity. A first plurality of bands are coupled to the base layer, and have an elasticity less than the first elasticity. A load distribution portion is coupled to the base layer and anchors first ends of the first plurality of bands. The first plurality of support connectors have an elasticity less than the first elasticity. The first plurality of support connectors are positioned adjacent right and left scapulae when worn by a user. The first plurality of support connectors are to provide a tension at bottom and inside edges of the right and left scapulae. The first plurality of bands, the first plurality of support connectors, and the load distribution portion are to limit internal rotation and anterior tilting of the scapulae when the shirt is worn by the user.
