I claim:
1. A therapeutic hip and shoulder wrap for alleviating pain in a patient, said wrap comprising: a uniform strap of flexible, flat, neoprene material of indeterminable length, the strap having two sides, a front side and a rear side, the rear side having a backing of nylon material to provide a measure of elasticity to the strap; the strap having opposing ends, a first end and a second end, the ends being rounded to avoid having corners that may have a tendency to peel back; fastening means comprising of hook and loop material; and a movable pocket holding a magnet pad adapted so as to be strategically positioned on the strap by hook and loop fastening means, the magnet pad used to promote healing by stimulating blood flow to the hip or shoulder, which brings extra nutrients and reduces inflammation as toxins are flushed out, the magnet pad also decreasing pain by reducing sensitivity of the nerve endings.
