What is claimed is: 1. A method for providing musculo-skeletal support, which comprises the steps of: (a) wrapping a stretchable, supportive laminate wrap around a portion of a body in need of musculo-skeletal support, wherein the laminate wrap comprises a silicone gel having a skin contacting surface, said silicone gel being laminated to an elastic carrier wherein said carrier is the loop portion of a hook and loop fastener, said laminate wrap forming an integrated structure configured to have elasticity sufficient to provide compression against a body surface without substantial fragmentation of said silicone gel; (b) stretching the laminate wrap around the portion to be supported; and (c) securing the laminate wrap in a closed position with one or more closure strips. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the elastic carrier has a modulus of elasticity of about 50%. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the laminate wrap is a bandage for a joint or a muscle. 4. The method of claim 3, wherein the joint is a knee, an ankle, a wrist, or an elbow. 5. The method of claim 4, for use in the treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome. 6. The method of claim 4, for use in the treatment of arthritis. 7. The method of claim 4, for use in the treatment of tennis elbow. 8. The method of claim 3, for use in a veterinary application. 9. The method of claim 3, wherein the closure strip is approximately the width of the bandage. 10. The method of claim 1, wherein the silicone gel is a cured polydiorganosiloxane resin. 11. The method of claim 10, wherein the gel contains an additive. 12. The method of claim 11, wherein the additive is a topical medication or an emollient. 13. A method for providing musculo-skeletal support, which comprises the steps of: (a) wrapping a stretchable, supportive laminate wrap around a portion of a body in need of musculo-skeletal support, wherein the laminate wrap comprises a gel having a skin contacting surface, said silicone gel being laminated to an elastic carrier wherein said carrier is the loop portion of a hook and loop fastener, said laminate wrap forming an integrated structure configured to have elasticity sufficient to provide compression against a body surface without substantial fragmentation of said gel; (b) stretching the laminate wrap around the portion to be supported; and (c) securing the laminate wrap in a closed position with one or more closure strips; wherein the closure strip is the hook portion of a hook and loop fastener. 14. The method of claim 13, wherein the gel is a silicone gel. 15. A method for providing a skin treatment, which comprises the steps of: (a) wrapping a stretchable, supportive laminate wrap around a portion of a body having skin in need of treatment, wherein the laminate wrap comprises a gel having a skin contacting surface, said silicone gel being laminated to an elastic carrier wherein said carrier is the loop portion of a hook and loon fastener, said laminate wrap forming an integrated structure configured to have elasticity sufficient to provide compression against a body surface without substantial fragmentation of said gel; (b) stretching the laminate wrap around the portion of the body to be treated; and (c) securing the laminate wrap in a closed position with one or more closure strips. 16. The method of claim 15, wherein the gel is a silicone gel. 17. The method of claim 15, wherein the carrier has a modulus of elasticity of about 50%. 18. The method of claim 15, wherein the closure strip is the hook portion of a hook and loop fastener. 19. The method of claim 15, wherein the laminate wrap is a bandage and wherein the skin treatment reduces the appearance of scarring. 20. The method of claim 15, wherein the silicone gel is a cured polydiorganosiloxane resin. 21. The method of claim 15, wherein the gel contains an additive. 22. The method of claim 21, wherein the additive is a topical medication or an emollient. 23. The method of claim 19, wherein the closure strip is approximately the width of the bandage.
