A support system for treatment of repetitive stress injuries. The support system uses a support layer formed from a thin, flexible, stretch resistant material. An adhesive is used that has a high shear strength to prevent the support layer from slipping when applied to the patient. The adhesive loses considerable adhesion as temperatures approach 125 degrees Fahrenheit. This allows the support system to be easily removed at temperatures within the comfort range of the user by soaking in hot water or use of a hair dryer. The system is applied to a wrist or other injury by securing around the wrist. A second portion of the support layer extends up to a portion of the back of the wrist. The user is able to move and flex the wrist through the full range of motion, however with a dampening effect which promotes neutral wrist postures and minimizes accumulative irridation to the median nerve.
