Disclosed are a system and method for limiting body or joint motion using exoskeletal pieces coupled with limiting connectors. In an exemplary system, a plurality of exoskeletal pieces are attached to various positions on a wearer's body proximate to a joint or body location on or within the wearer's body. The joint or body location is selected as requiring limited motion based on, for example, the goal of avoiding causing or exacerbating bodily injury. Once so attached, limiting connectors coupling the plurality of exoskeletal pieces allow free motion or natural motion in one or more degrees of freedom of the joint or body location within certain limits, but prevent free motion outside those limits.
