Great for taking pressure off of your back.

I thought the shirt would be stronger. I wanted something that would not allow my shoulders to slump forward. I thought it would be tighter around the shoulders and middle back area lead9ing to the lower waist. I also thought it would give me more support for lower back area. I need something with more stiffness to restrain me from leaning forward. It is a very comfortable shirt and I do wear it every day. I stand all day so I do have lower back pain. I think I was expecting to much from the product.

The new band at the bottom is wonderful for keeping the shirt from riding up.

I absolutely LOVE my shirts. I now have two and wear them every single day. I've told everyone I know about them!

I have EDS Type III and after years of chronic pain and injuries and loss of muscle tone and the small strength I used to have my posture has become yet another source of my pain. I tied to buy a shoulder strap posture corrected but couldn't even tolerate it for 15min without a mid back spasm. This shirt instantly makes me feel supported and held together. It's an amazing feeling I haven't had in awhile and thou I took a few small breaks this is my 3rd time in it today and I just got it yesterday. thank you for designing this!!!!

I LOVE my Alignmed posture shirt. My Orthopaedic surgeon recommended it to help a shoulder injury to keep my humeral head in place. It truly does help with posture by pulling your shoulders back, but it also fits snug so it is a constant reminder to mind your posture. The snug fit is also a plus to slim the torso! The size is true to the measurements given. I ordered a large and it fits perfect. I have a 40" chest and weigh 155 lbs. It launders beautifully, especially considering that I wash it every other day, so I'm ordering another one.

Okay so here's what's going on with me. I've had mild scoliosis my entire life, I am hypermobile, and I've been very injury prone in regards to all of my joints. This has all led to a lot of pain and physical therapy and so, so many braces and splints. My back has, thankfully, never been injured, but back and neck pain are just a daily part of my life. Chiropractic and some nsaids can help, but it is what it is, you know? Or so I thought.
Fast forward to this year. I've finally found a specialist and have been diagnosed with a connective tissue disorder (BJHS). I've been informed I should no longer receive chiropractic care as it can be extremely dangerous for hypermobile people. One of the many things recommended to me instead to help with my pain was the Posture Shirt. I had never heard of it, so I looked it up and...winced at the price. I've put a lot of money into a variety of medical devices, and they didn't always help.
I discussed it with my physical therapist, and we decided we would test the concept. That is, she used KT tape to tape my shoulders back and improve my posture. I wore the tape for a few days and, lo and behold, I did actually see a decent improvement in my pain. We did this for a couple weeks and decided the shirt would be good to try out. The timing lined up with the black Friday sale at AlignMed, so I bought two shirts for myself.
I received the shirts last week. I have worn them for six days.
I HAVE HAD ZERO BACK PAIN FOR 6 DAYS.
THIS. HAS. NEVER. HAPPENED. BEFORE!!! I cannot describe how amazed and INSANELY EXCITED I AM about these shirts! I am telling literally everyone I can about them. I'm saving up to buy 3 more so I can have 5 for my work week, then I can do laundry and wear them on my days off. I NEVER WANT TO TAKE IT OFF.
The Posture Shirt has been the greatest investment I have ever made towards managing my back pain. I still cannot get over how excited I am. Do you know what it's like to have chronic pain, and then suddenly that pain is just gone and all you had to do was PUT ON A COOL SHIRT?! It's magical.

Love it! I have EDS, and this top actually relieves some of my back pain and provides great support. Can be a little hard to get on/off, but it’s not impossible. For my MCAS/chemically sensitive friends: this top did arrive with a “new smell”, but it washed out completely in two back to back washes. 100% recommend!

I bought both the bra and tshirt. Both products feel great and have helped my posture tremendously.
Bonnie B.
I love wearing it ...I do think it could be bigger in the arms as it bunches a little...
Margaret A.
This shirt has really helped with the pain across my shoulder and into my upper arm. This is my second one and I love them both. Will continue to purchase this product.
Illona B.
I bought the shirt for my granddaughter. She has a genetic condition that causes loose joints. She says it helps her shoulder stay in place. The quality of the shirt is very good.
Brenda M.
I really love this shirt! I ordered a medium, but had to return for a smaller size.
Thanks to the wonderful help I received from a very sweet girl, who helped me with the sizing. Really folks, just read the size guide, to get a great fit!
This shirt does not actually make you stand straighter, but it firmly “reminds you” to stand straight. At my age, I always need reminding!
Great product that does not bind armpits or “dig or gouge”!
Channa H.
It does really help! I had little confidence in a shirt that would help posture, but the structure of the shirt really does help achieve a good posture! I love wearing this while lifting weights and strength training. I would order a size bigger because it is a little difficult to get on.

I was diagnosed with Thoracic Outlet Syndrome 6 years ago. My Physician asked that I try out the alignmed posture shirt for my severe shoulder spasms. It has made a huge difference in my pain level. I am a post surgical floor nurse. I try to wear my shirt to work everyday. Not only does it help with my shoulder pain but it keeps me aware of my posture when lifting and moving patients. I have the same shirt I bought 6 years ago and you can’t even tell I wear it almost daily. I can’t wait to try the sports bra!!

I am in the beginning stages of osteoporosis and wanted to "straighten up more" because I didn't even realize I was "slouching" when walking. My mother had a serious case of osteoporosis and was bent over when walking. She lived to be 100 and although I probably won't live that long, I don't want to be looking at the ground when walking. This top is incredible. It makes me want to stand "tall" and pulls my shoulders back so I'm not slouching. Thank you so very much for this incredible alignment top.

I have tried so many types of posture correctors to help my lower back pain and slouch. The ones that you strap on to your shoulders left my arms numb and pinched a nerve in my left arm (I kept them very loose! It was just the way they sat)
And then I found this shirt and it is absolutely exactly what I needed.
The price is a lot - but because it works, and because I wear it as much as possible, it's worth it. It is helping so much. Now that I work from home I feel like I can wear it daily and feel great!

It doesn’t take the back pain away but it does remind me to focus on good posture. I find that after taking it off I soon want to put it back on! I wear it all day. Although I
weigh less than 100 lbs. I found the pullover shirt in a small too tight and challenging to get out of.
I exchanged it for a medium zip-up and it is a much more comfortable fit. In fact I plan to order a second zip-up soon.

I had always heard that chronic back pain would be a part of my daily life as a dentist and I was constantly trying to find ways to minimize and manage my pain. A dentist friend recommended I try Alignmed’s Posture Shirt, and I noticed that my pain levels after long days at work were much lower. The tightness of the shirt reminds me to engage my core and the support around my shoulders gives me a lot of relief when I am constantly torquing my neck and body to do my job. I’m so happy I found this company and have tried other posture shirts made around the world, but these are truly superior.

These shirts are amazing! They continue to help my chronic back pain. The design and fabric give support to my shoulders, core, and back. I have spine curvature from severe osteoporosis and bad posture! My husband gave me my very first pullover many years ago and I can emphasize, continues to provide support. It was made in the USA size XS.
I wanted to try the zipper design for easier placement on my body. Just to be certain, I reached out to AlignMed about their sizing. Their Rep advised me to order the size S based on my measurements. The zipper shirt was made in China and have differences in material. Yet, it fits me nice and snug, just the way my original pullover fits. AlignMed’s recent July sale prompted me to purchase more shirts since this is all I wear. I now own 4; two each of the Zipper and Pullover. The USA made blue pullover fits looser around my upper back than my original! Though, I have kept it to avoid the hassle of shipping back and forth. I have been a seamstress for 40 years and understand sizing differentials along with variants in the fabric will produce an overall altered result (fit.) In conclusion; for me, the size S, USA made blue pullover is 1 inch bigger around and gives me less support on my shoulders, back, and core. This will not deter me from future purchases because now I know. For me, size XS for USA-made. And size S, for China-made. I will continue to recommend your posture shirt to others. Thank you for an impressive and effective design.

Whenever I wear this shirt I get compliments on how trim and fit I look - probably because my posture is so much better. I am 5'6"/130lbs and wear an XS. I started with a small, but it had too much give so I sized down.
I was gifted this shirt when dealing with chronic shoulder pain (volleyball; and apparently as you age you have to warm up) by a shoulder specialist orthopaedist friend. I do not have the shoulder pain any longer (I've also started warming up). In the car, I don't pull stuff out of the backseat, adding stress to the joint. The shirt has helped remind and reinforce good posture and the balance of muscles.
I wear it under turtlenecks and winter shirts all winter. I think it is too sporty to wear with jeans or as a casual top. Because it has a majority of polyester, it does get stinky like all poly or gym clothing does. I wash in cold and hang dry. I plan to purchase the bra so I can wear an AlignMed more frequently.

This shirt is amazing. The days I wear it under my back brace instead of a regular t-shirt are the days I feel the best. It definitely helps me to have better posture, and I am so grateful I took a chance on it several years ago. I don’t have a lot of money, so it’s taken me a while to save up for a second one. It’s well worth it, though!

I started using Alignmed products in 2015. I've always had very bad posture, but at that point I was starting to get nerve damage in my back. That's when I decided to start taking my posture seriously. I searched online to figure out which company to give a chance, and there were a few offering similar products for similar prices. After further research, I put my trust in Alignmed. My posture shirt came in and was very effective, and my colletion (and obsession) only grew from there! It was a bit painful the first few weeks as my back was adjusting to its new form, but it was completely worth it after the numbness in my back went away. I have worn an Alignmed posture shirt every single day since then. I also like to get them as gifts for people and it hasn't been a disappointment; my friends have their own stories to tell about the disappearance of their back issues! You also look a lot more confident with good posture! :)

The minute I put on my shirt I had no back pain. It pulled my shoulders back and made my posture better. Would definitely recommend!!
