Flexible and elastic magnetic joint wraps incorporate superstrong magnets with alternating polarities and incorporate bio-ceramic fibers to provide enhanced magnetotherapeutic and far-infrared effects. Magnetotherapeutic joint wraps that are flexible and elastic incorporate superstrong magnets as well as far-infrared emitters in an attachably detachable manner so as to provide magnetotherapy and far-infrared therapy to joints and surrounding tissues. Neoprene or the like may incorporate superstrong magnets such as those based on iron (magnetic ferrite) or neodymium (particularly neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB)) in order to provide superstrong static magnetism by which magnetotherapy may be effected. Elements that are generally oppositely opposed serve to detachably attach portions of the magnetic wrap to one another so that the magnetic joint wrap may conform to the local shape and form of the area adjacent the joint. Such attachment elements may include VELCRO.RTM. hook and loop fasteners as well as buttons, snaps, and the like. The superstrong magnets are constructed such that they may be incorporated in flexible and elastic materials such as neoprene. This provides means by which a magnetic wrap may tautly wrap around the joint and adjacent area when attached by the attachment elements. A soft cover may incorporate or cover bio-ceramic fibers which provide far-infrared treatment for the adjacent tissues and/or joints. Additionally, eye and face masks may incorporate the superstrong magnets and bio-ceramic fibers as used in the deep heating magnetic joint wrap of the present invention to good advantage.
