ALIGNMED Posture Shirt Pullover for Men

I was more than pleasantly surprised at the effectiveness of this shirt. I'm not the average joe with a bad back - I'm a veteran and retired powerlifter who's still active and who does myofascial release therapy or rehabilitation just about every single day. I have myofascial pain syndrome and neurological issues in my scapular nerves causing very rounded shoulders which leads to a long list of problems and aching parts/joints - I've tried numerous shoulder/clavicle braces, back braces, the breath belt, the bowtie, kinesiotape, and this is the first product I've used that actually improves my shoulder posture and is comfortable. It's a highly compressed shirt, so expect that. It's basically a compression shirt with kinesiotape built into it - it pulls my scapula into place and helps hold them there - I'm still evaluating whether their claims of actually retraining muscles is accurate, but either way, it improves my quality of life and I get home from work with less pain and in a better bio-mechanical state. I wore it to work every day for a week and it wasn't any more smelly than any other undershirt - if you sweat a lot then yeah having a $95 undershirt might have some logistical problems, but it breathes fine.

This is probably my sixth Alignmed posture shirt (same v-neck pullover). Long story short, three of them vanished (unrelated incident) and I was one short, hence the most recent order.They absolutely do work!!! On my long walks (3-5 miles) up and down some very steep hills, they really help with my posture. Some years back, after seeing some unflattering pics of me hunching a bit, I tried various posture shirts. I stuck with Alignmed. Yes, it is a pain to get on and take off, but the instantaneous, and lasting, effect on helping keep my shoulders back is easily apparent.I've read many reviews complaining about the tight fit and difficulty in putting it on and taking it off. Of course, it feels a bit tight at first, otherwise it would be rather ineffective at helping with posture. One quickly gets used to how to put on and remove the shirt (it's not all that difficult as some would make it seem and easily done without anyone's assistance -- plus you do get somewhat of a nice feeling when you take it off and feel less restricted).As stated, it is my "go-to" undershirt when walking. It has always been comfortable and does help.

I got this product at recommendation of an orthopod. I have pain between the shoulders in the spine area. I benefitted from using this compression shirt, but needed to add additional support on top of it to achieve pain relief. For me the compression shirt in combination with a figure 8 brace helped more to battle pain from prolonged sitting or standing than either alone.

The shirt was recommended by my Physical Therapist who I really trust and is one of the best in the business. The shirt is very supportive and does the job, although it is really tight (borderline too tight) around the chest.Based on Size Chart, I got a Medium: 36-40" chest and 155-180 lb. My chest is 39" and I weight 165 lb.It is extremely tight under my arm pits and fairly uncomfortable to wear all day, although it is supportive and accomplishes the purpose. I intend to buy a Large and see if it is more comfortable under my arm pits and is still supportive. If you are on the upper side of the chest measurement but still within the weight criteria, consider moving up a size.

I don’t know how this is supposed to helpwith posture. Nice idea though

Poor ergonomics at my at-home office lead to some chronic pain in my shoulder. I have slowly recovered to about 90% of normal range of motion, but attribute most healing to some exercises with light weights. However, I credit the Posture Shirt with creating some biofeedback that prompted me to correct my posture, take more breaks from the computer, and grab those weights for a few minutes here and there while the PC was doing downloads. It falls short of a great value in my opinion due to the rather steep price, but I found it minimally worthwhile.

My shoulders had become rounded and my rotator cuff (which I had previously injured) had really flared up while I have been working remotely from my office at home. Not a great work set-up with my desk height not being great and staring into a monitor continuously due to video meetings. This product has improved my posture almost immediately. It is fatiguing to be sure but I believe it will be worth it. My wife noticed right away that my back was straighter and my head was more vertical. I bought two shirts and will rotate with the laundry. My goal is to wear them at least 8 hours a day for a month. I'll update my review then. One of my brothers recommended them due to a rotator cuff injury that he had and he claims that it healed after a month of consistently wearing the shirts. They are tight to get on and off but that is the point. They feel a bit like wearing a wet suit if you have had that experience. Well made. Pricey but again, you get what you pay for and these shirts really are the ticket to posture improvement.

This shirt is great. It fits snuggly but in doing so helps prevent me from rounding my shoulders and slouching when wearing. I run very hot and do not usually wear an undershirt but this does not make me sweat at all, it is porous bit strong.
