A substantially triangular piece of flexible material, which has the appearance of a delta-winged aircraft when flattened. The piece of flexible material has a first wing portion, a second wing portion, a central body portion therebetween, and a body-facing side. The neck wrap also has a plurality of individual thermal elements embedded therein. The plurality of thermal elements have a pattern which approximates the shape and location of muscles in the user's upper back, lower neck, and shoulders. The pattern has a gap bisecting the central portion corresponding to the user's spine. The neck wrap maintains piece of flexible material in a desired position once the piece of flexible material has been draped over the user's shoulders. The central portion is centered at the user's upper back and lower neck and the first and second wing portions lay across the user's shoulders and rest on the user's chest. The device for maintaining the piece of flexible material in position includes counterweights attached to the first and second wing portions in order to balance the thermal elements in the central portion and at least one strip of foamed polymer attached to each of the first and second wing portions on said body-facing side thereof.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A thermal neck wrap comprising:a) a substantially triangular piece of flexible material, said piece of flexible material having a first wing portion, a second wing portion, a central body portion therebetween, such that when said neck wrap is placed on a user, said central body portion is centered at a user's upper back and lower neck and said first and second wing portions lay across a user's shoulders;b) a plurality of individual thermal elements embedded in and fixedly attached to said central body portion, said plurality of thermal elements having a pattern which approximates a shape and location of muscles in a user's upper back, lower neck, and shoulders, said plurality of thermal elements having an oxygen activated, heat generating chemistry; andc) counterweights attached to said first and second wing portions laying across a user's shoulders in order to balance said thermal elements in said central portion at a user's lower neck and upper back so that said thermal neck wrap maintains positioning across a user's shoulders without requiring thermal wrap attachment, said counterweights providing no thermal function.
