The present disclosure relates to joint wraps that provide advantages over known wraps, particularly in terms of optimal efficacy, conformance of the wrap to the joint, and/or resilience of the wrap to deformation during use. The joint wraps are most preferably knee or elbow wraps. In particular, the present joint wraps include those comprising: (a) a body portion, wherein the body portion creates a longitudinal axis; wherein the body portion comprises an aperture having a longest length and a widest width, wherein the longest length is substantially transverse to the longitudinal axis; and (b) a body-facing surface and an outer surface, wherein each of the body-facing surface and outer surface extend along the length of the longitudinal axis. The disclosure further relates to methods of treating pain selected from acute muscular, acute skeletal, acute referred, recurrent muscular, recurrent skeletal, recurrent referred, chronic muscular, chronic skeletal, chronic referred pain, and combinations thereof, comprising applying the foregoing joint wrap to the joint of a mammal in need of such treatment.
