I was recently diagnosed with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos and suffer from constant neck, back and shoulder pain, as well as headaches and other CCI symptoms. I love the support this product provides. Seeing the difference in photographs is even more drastic than I immagined. I picked the zip-up thinking getting it on and off would be easier than the pull-on. Unfortunately, I find the clasp/zipper system very uncomfortable on my skin, as I do also have a lot of sensory sensitivities, and even seams can be a sore spot. It is helpful enough that I wear it anyway, but I have come back to order another, this time with-out the zip. Something to keep in mind for any fellow ASD shoppers.

Medium fits better than large did.

I bought this bra for my daughter who plays sports and was constantly complaining about back pain. After Wearing the bra for a few days she said her back felt so much better.

Look at the difference in my shoulders and hips. Right photo I’m wearing my posture sports bra. I can’t tell you enough how important our posture is. As an RN who takes care of surgical patients…I NEVER want to have back surgery. I’m doing every thing in my power to correct the effects that Thoracic Outlet Syndrome caused before and after my surgery 5 years ago. I definitely compensate on my left side due to the right sided muscle weakness.
Denise G.
Great helps with my slouching back and upper lower back issues
Anne M.
Very helpful with posture during the day and during exercise endeavors!
Fred K.
I love the fit and the fact that I can hook it in the front./ I have tried others and have to have assistance from my spouse to get them on. It aids my posture and is comfortable as any bra to wear all day. The one thing I don't like is that it makes me flatter across the front.
Colleen A.
I have started using the sports bra for each ride and seen amazing results. While riding it is essential to have the bio feedback for scapula retraction without having restriction in movement. I highly recommend this sports bra for professionals, amateurs or youth equestrians looking for that next level of support for their riding position.
Jen M.
Great bra! Love it!
Karen M.
The sizing runs small. I used the sizing chart and ordered a small according to measurements and it’s uncomfortably tight..
Cherie T.
This Sport Bra is the most phenomenal design imaginable. It is the ONLY sport bra that does not cause me pain after 15 mins of wearing!!! I get alot of pain in my upper back and have developed rounded forwards shoulders which makes it a bear to wear ANY kind of bra, but sports bras are notorious for causing spasm, nausa and headaches, esp if wearing for over 45 mins. THIS BRA is completely different. It holds my shoulders back and allows the breast support to be spread throughout the back and shoulders. It works therapeutically too. I actually wear it around the house sometimes if my day has been particularly challenging with my normal bra on. Bless, Bless, Bless you for coming up with this design. It is genius!!
Judy S.
This bra is doing everything the reviews stated it would do for back issues. The design with hooks and zipper front closure , high quality material and back support this will be my bra.
Dawn V.
I had a little trouble with the sizing but Alignmed worked with me to get it right. I love it so much! I have been having shoulder pain and this sports bra has helped a ton. Getting ready to order the posture shirt next, thank you Alignmed!

This bra performs miracles. I have kyphoscoliosis and am 74 years old. I have had 2 back operations and have impingement syndrome. I have not been able to stand for more than a few minutes or walk without a cane for less than 5 minutes. With this bra that activated my upper back muscles, I was able to walk and stand for much longer and stand much straighter. I will buy more. I bought two bras in black in size large. I am 5 ft 2 inches, having shrunken by nearly 3 inches from the surgeries and the musculoskeletal condition that I have and weigh 160 pounds. Every bra I wear hurts me because my smallest part is at the bra band and then bulges out. This fabulous bra does not hurt. It is a blessing.
Jess M.
I have moderate to severe kyphoscoliosis and need a supportive bra not only to give me support for my size 36D "girls," but also to activate the upper back muscles so that I am not sloping forward so much. The bra is remarkable for giving me energy by causing my shoulders to have better alignment, resulting in less pain overall. Well worth the price. I plan to buy more in different colors than the black that I have.
Susan Z.
This was a test purchase. The size chart is accurate. I purchased a medium.
Granted, the four eye hook closures and zipper are a little cumbersome to close, but overall I like how the sports bra keeps my scapulae engaged. I purchased another sports bra in a different color.
A definite upgrade from a regular sports bra in terms of shoulder girdle support.
Jennifer A.
Unfortunately, I didn’t see any change in my posture after wearing the bra. Closing the garment on the front took a lot longer than it should as it was not easy. The bra may offer good support but I do not feel or see correction in my posture. Newer versions must consider cup size too; it is extremely important.
Eva L.
This bra is almost perfect. I'm 5'9" 190 lbs, size 12/14, and Large on tops and wear a 40E bra. I have been looking for an everyday bra that did not dig into my AC joint as the joint is worn and I have a lot of pain that radiates down the entire arm (where the clavicle joins with the shoulder--exactly where a bra strap sits). With large breasts it's very difficult to find a strap that does not dig into this painful joint. I just can't handle normal bras when my arm is irritated. Pros is that immediately after putting it on I felt immediate pain relief in the arm. My arm usually drops down and this bra pulled my arm towards its "normal" position. Unfortunately it creates a very unattractive breast shape. Not only a uniboop, but it squishes my breasts so much that it looks awful. I wish it came in different cup sizes for larger breasts. I think an A-C cup may be able to wear this well. But larger cups will have the same issue. I ALWAYS wear all my clothes before I wear them the first time. Well I got this bra yesterday and have not taken it off since I tried it on. I even slept with it (I never sleep with a bra) because it took so much of my pain away. So although my breasts look ridiculous and tiny, I'm back here to buy another bra. I will be wearing this to sleep, to work out and while at home and suffer with a regular bra when I leave the house. Until the company improves the cup sizing.
Britton M.
Great support and if nothing else, serves as a reminder to maintain posture.
Erica W.
The bra has definitely helped keep posture proper during a long day at work (12 + hrs). I have nerve issues in my neck and I’ve noticed a huge difference when wearing this. Make sure to take breaks in between days and build your way up to wearing for a long period of time.
I got a M and I am a 36 B
Jessica S.
I would like to share my Very Impressive experience with this very original and faithfully made products. I have purchased and used all the posture bras (all colors) and I am super impressed of this scientific invention that helped me a lot with my medical condition and resulted in significant improvement. In particular, I am impressed of the accuracy in the design and the detailed attention to the alignment of the product's parts in a really "very thoughtfully- and well-engineered that make this product act/ feel like a "therapist." By just wearing it around, I could feel my muscles correcting themselves. I can't even start to describe the supportive feeling that I experience when I do my upper body muscle contraction moves as the support and the joy I feel is beyond description.
A VERY IMPORTANT benefit is the promotion of BREATHING as you wear this posture bra. Thus, I decided to replace all my bras with Alignmed ones and I am wearing this miracle product everywhere.
I strongly believe that the inventor of this product has put in there a lot of passion, effort, science, and empathy and have a very humanistic goal (rather than materialistic) of helping patients/ clients recover and heal, which is really very rare/ precious in the market now a days.
Last but not least, I would like to acknowledge the AMAZING and super kind team and customer support which is VERY unique and work with customers patently to address their needs. Thank you so much, Alignmed, for all the positive and healthy outcomes that I have as I am using your products.
Jena K.
This bra has been life-changing in that it has provided support for my scapular muscles and has allowed me the stability that I need(ed) to grow in strength in my effected weak muscles. My only critique and request would be that AlignMed create a bra that is designed for everyday clothing. As a female, it is excruciatingly difficult to find clothing that provides coverage of my strap and shirts/dresses that have even a slight dip or a "V" shape show the top part of the bra. This has been challenging to adjust to and very few stores offer consistent clothing choices for professional and every day wear that are compatible with the shape of this bra. My physical therapy recommended this bra for me and I utilize several for everyday wear (not only athletic wear). I don't think I'll ever go back.
Claudia H.
The back doesn’t fit as smoothly as I think it should. There is much loose fitting material, more than in any pictures that I saw. I was expecting more posture support/alignment.
Anita M.
The Posture Sports Bra works great for Pure Barre class. It really helps with the planks.
Gabby B.
The size chart can be confusing, but I am also in between sizes. I originally ordered the medium but it fit more like a large. For size reference I am 115 pounds and wear a 34 C. I sent it back to exchange it for a smaller size and the small is perfect. I feel the gentle pull and it helps with slouching. It is so comfortable that I could wear it all the time. Now that I have the correct size I am very satisfied.
Caylon E.
I wear the Posture sports bra daily. I can feel the increased activation of my shoulder girdle so that my muscles are doing more work for me. The wider shoulder straps really assist in the weight distribution so I don't end up with indentations in my shoulders and tension on the upper traps by the end of the day. This is my go-to bra!
Dona B.
You are missing an opportunity to reach out to the more elderly population. I am 90 years of age, active and president and active founder of an animal welfare foundation. Sitting at the compuer for hours and lifting is a challenge. My wonderful AlignMe bra has given me the support and comfort that I have found with no other bra or back support. It is gently designed to open the chest, and pull the shouldesr back, thereby straightening the posture with a gentle but firm support. I have a drawer full of support bras and took a chance and found it to be the very best support bra on the market. There are many elderly people who are active, and would benefit from this amazing bra.
MADLYN C.
It seems the bra is too shorter you are are size DD
pm p.
I now have eight in nude, white and black. They work and help my posture when exercising, gardening and the like. I used to wear the Intelliskin brand which offers similar support but they stopped making a front zip. Trying to pull something over my head after working out was enough to hurt my back all over again! These work for me. I wear the medium; I am a 36B bra size.
Carolina S.
Bra is helping with posture and alleviating some pain with my torn rotator cuff that requires surgery.
Carolina S.
Was recently in a motorcycle accident and have a severely torn rotator cuff. I need surgery, but need to wait for my leg to heal more. I have been using the bra and it has helped with posture and some pain relief.
Kj D.
There's so much back support for this small piece of clothing, it's just amazing. I'm a personal trainer so I'm using weights every day in some capacity. The bra helps my spine to stay in alignment and also my shoulders seem to know how to handle the loads better as well. I feel more self confident when demonstrating exercise for clients and they like seeing correct posture so they can mirror it. Well done with this bra!
Tracy G.
I played tennis before my diagnosis and all thru my treatments and since then. I was diagnosed in 2009 and went thru surgery (lumpectomy), chemo and radiation therapy. I had a couple of sports bras that I had been wearing for years to play tennis (I had to wear two at once - argh!) and was always on the lookout for new good sports bra. No luck for many years. I see a physical therapist regularly and have since my surgery. I have lymphedema and my physical therapist is the one that showed me the Alignmed bra. The Sports Bra I ordered worked very well. I just ordered more. I’m so grateful to have found a good sports bra! Hooray!
Michele B.
The Alignmed posture sports bras are amazing. I suffer from neck and shoulder pain and was desperate to get some relief. Physical Therapy helps but my it was not enough. Since I started wearing my posture sports bra on a daily basis, I find my posture is getting more aligned and my neck and shoulders no longer hurt; my shoulders naturally square off without my thinking about it. I look and feel better. Highly recommend.
Tracy B.
I am disappointed.
I ordered 2 new ones after a couple years of loving my old one. New ones don't offer nearly the support of my older one. The fit is really mushy -- nowhere near the support of my raggedy old one. Did the sizing change?
In addition, the metal latches are already coming apart after a couple of months.
I really need it for my joint laxity as it has been a lifesaver. I don't know what to do.
Damara O.
Great bra recommended by my orthopedic surgeon and physical therapist. Love it!!!
MARSHA M.
I purchased this posture bra at the advice of my physical therapist. I love love love it... It is really comfortable and keeps my shoulders from rounding forward when I am at my computer as well as reminding me to stand straight when I walk around. I have only worn it under sweaters where it is not noticeable, however, It does seem to appear a little bulky and the zipper tends to show through under my lighter weight tops. Not sure if that can be fixed as well as making a lighter fabric for the warmer months as It does fit rather snugly and tends to make me a bit warmer in higher temperatures. With all that said, I believe it is of good quality and is a useful product for maintaining a proper posture.

Bought this for my 15 yr old daughter who has a torn posterior labrum and shoulder instability in both shoulders to add to it she is a competitive swimmer. This has been an absolute game changer in her rehabilitation as well as reducing chronic pain caused by these issues.
She is 5'6" weighs 120lbs is a 32D chest. Got the medium and she says it supports her shoulders and chest well without painfully smashing the girls. The only thing she would change is that they had an option without a front zipper as she wears this pretty much everyday and the zipper shows under some shirts.
Jennifer C.
I have extremely hypermobile shoulders due to hEDS, and this bra makes such a difference! It helps me stabilize while retaining range of motion, which means I end up in less pain. Love it! For reference, I'm 5' 2" and 105 pounds, ordered an XS originally and had to return for a S.
sandra m.
Was just an overpriced sports bra. Did nothing for posture or support. Very disappointed.
Meha D.
Love it, the bra is comfortable while providing the back support I need.
Amelia D.
Comfortable and I could feel my posture improving
Rosemary F.
I originally purchased this sports bra in a medium but needed to exchange it for a small. The customer service I received from Alignmed was exceptional. Kristen was very patient with me. Honestly I was afraid the small would be too confining. When I received the small, I found it extremely comfortable and easy to put on. I felt more comfortable the longer I kept the sports bra on. I felt a slight pull from the sports bra in my shoulders. I usually walk 4 miles per day. I wore the bra for three days and then wanted to test how I would feel by not without wearing the bra. I absolutely felt a difference in my back and shoulders. So happy Alignmed was recommended to me by my physical therapist.
Susan M.
I really wanted to like it as my PT highly recommended your company. Did not fit me appropriately. Good in back and shoulders but flattened both breasts so bad - they hurt. I sent back for refund and hopefully will hear something soon.
Brittany B.
This product the sports bra specifically is great for working out and everyday wear! I work in healthcare and I don’t go to work without it on now!
Rosalee R.
I really wanted to like these bras. I sit right between a small and a medium from their size chart so I bought both sizes. They both tend to ride up mid chest and require me to adjust them after wearing them for about 10 min. I don't know if it's my body or the sizing or what but if I wear it then I spend a lot of time just pulling them down. I was bummed out after spending $200 that I couldn't wear either of them.
Erika M.
The fit was perfect. There has been no soreness while wearing it or after. I believe it definitely has improved my posture. Highly recommend the bra.
lisa m.
This bra is comfortable while helping hold my shoulders back! it also reminds me that my posture is so important!
Kathy H.
The bra seemed supportive, but didn't work for me. I have an injury to my SC joint and the bra created too much pressure over my clavicle. Hoping the shirt works better for me!!
Celise J.
The back straps rubbed my back raw can not use
Charlene F.
The first time I tried it, it really made a big difference. I didn't realize how much I needed the support. It was a little tight but well worth it as my posture really improved.
Laura O.
This bra does help me sustain longer working hours without neck pain, whether standing or sitting at my computer. However, my shoulders (traps) do get achy after a few hours. I'm working up to using it all day.
Carol T.
This was so comfortable and well made. I wanted to be able to wear it so badly but my back is just too far gone with previous several thoracic fractures, humped back, scoliosis AND dislocated shoulder blade.
Lanelle D.
I believe this support bra is the answer for my back pain. Thanks very much.
Sandra F.
If you have big boobs even if you buy a large size it is uncomfortable for boobs, no place to put them they just get smushed.
Latisha W.
great sports bra! highly recommend
margie s.
feels like it helps me from slumping and i can breath better
jackie h.
Size chart tends to run small.
Julie D.
This bra is helps hold my hypermobile shoulders in place. Since I started wearing this bra, my shoulder pain is dramatically less and a lot of things that used to trigger a pain flare no longer cause me any pain at all.
Erin T.
This bra has helped me immensely with my back pain and Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome issues. I’d definitely recommend this to anyone needing posture support or to train their body!
Deb J.
Bra was too big and the padding in front of bras keeps bunching up.
Aurel B.
I have a dropped shoulder and a winged scapula. It feels like it’s helping hold things in place and feels secure!
Patricia K.
I have had back pain for 3.5 years after a bike accident.
Stretching and exercising have helped but the alignme bra helped more than anything else I have done.
Lisa H.
this one is also very disappointing and useless its not what they advertise for it .I am very very unhappy buying it . don't waist your money like i did .
Ann H.
Bottom line - this bra works. It supports both your boobies and your upper back. I am a solid 36 B - and bought a Medium. It fits, but there is NO room for, um expansion, shall we say. The hooks are a huge help.. couldn't zip it up without them. But when all is said and done and that thing is finally in place, it works great. Only bit of advice to the designers is to contemplate a zip lock of sort, so the zipper is not tempted to unzip :)
Melissa L.
every time i try to get the 25% off it does not work. very frustrating
Linda C.
I have scoliosis and this has been the4th bra. Love them. I have less back pain. My chiropractor was pleased with these too. I told several about them. They wear also. Thank you for having the specials when we purchase them.
Patricia V.
Love this bra. My physical therapist recommended it to improve my posture. It helps me comfortably sit and stand straighter.
Brad R.
Helps a lot with my posture and to keep my shoulders back.
Susan
It's great in theory but not for women with large breasts. It just rides up over them. I love my align med shirt however. The bra needs to be made with band and cup sizes.
Michelle C.
I have back problems and posture issues due to my job; I am always leaning over; I feel the sports bra helps but I am going to buy the shirt, I am hoping it straigtens me up a little more.
Janet P.
The first day I wear the Bra I was amazed as to how it helped my posture and the pain I was having. My right shoulder was drooping and by wearing this Bra it has has supported my shoulder and posture. Thanks
sarah v.
It is nice to have support to help with better posture. The bra feels great!
Michele G.
constantly ride up and did not provide any support.
Emilia F.
I have a neck injury that results in pain in my neck and shoulder. I've been seeing a physical therapist for years but the pain has never went away. My physical therapist recommended I try the Posture Sports Bra from Alignmed because her other clients have had success with the brand. I have been focusing my efforts in the past 6 months on trying to help lessen my shoulder/neck pain so I've been doing several different approaches and I know for a fact that the Alignmed Posture Sports Bra has been one of the factors that has lessened my pain. My shoulder pain used to be constant and now it is not. I noticed this difference within a few days of wearing the bra. I've also noticed that it has helped my posture, not only my pain which in turn also helps with my type of injury. I only wear Alignmed Posture Sports Bras now. I have posture sports bras for working out and posture sports bras for everyday wear. I notice when I have to wear a different bra because of an outfit I'm wearing or my posture sports bras are all in the wash, my shoulder can't take it for too long and I start noticing the pain coming back. I also noticed my muscles are stronger and it takes longer to tire our my shoulder. When I work out, I feel this sports bra puts me in better posture when I'm executing my workouts which helps alleviate pain but building muscles the right way (no compensating or bad form). Thank you Alignmed!
Regina J.
I exchanged the S for XS, and the XS fit is perfect!
Carol S.
might work for a woman with little or no boobs.
absolutely useless to me. it has been awhile, not sure if it is returnable.
a waste of $100.00
dolores v.
Good stuff. Great support, well made. Sizes run small and the hooks are hard to hook. (similar to a corset) But once you get it on, you don't want to take it off. Customer Service is excellent! Thank you!
Christy K.
Bought this bra on 9/14/20 and already is coming apart at the seams. Paying almost $100 for a bra and it not even lasting a month is unacceptable. Also, I do not feel that it "pulls back" my shoulders for better posture as it claims. VERY DISAPPOINTED!!!
Christy K.
Anne D.
ITs a size too small but I will exchange for a medium.
Jaclyn H.
My everyday essentials! I can’t wait to see what alignmed comes out with next!
Patti K.
My new favorite bra, so comfortable and the straps are hidden to the side with most of my blouses. Recommended by my PT for posture, I’m so thankful to find this bra!!
Lori T.
This bra is amazing! Been having some back problems and started wearing this bra and they disappeared.
Lynn B.
I am a Repeat customer always satisfied with a perfect product.
MARIE L.
Alignmed makes some of the most comfortable and stylish clothes, to help posture and support your body in everyday life. Their posture-correcting clothes, especially their sportsbra, have helped me for many years - where handball and training, among other things, have been a big part of my life. It sits nicely on the body and helps me to relieve my pain and improve my performance.
Debbie M.
It’s a comfortable way to improve posture. I wear it when playing tennis and have no problems.
Suzanne R.
This is for my special needs daughter who gets back problems from not sitting up straight. She enjoys wearing it so it must make her feel better
Sharon B.
I absolutely love these bras! I have both black and turquoise (more than one of each) and wear them all day, even when not working out. I just wish there were more colors. Would like to see burgundy, purple, or hot pink
Kamarae
I am loving my bra. It's a great product!
Jodi S.
2 weeks since explant surgery. I ordered an Alignmed sports bra for the front zip closure, compression, and the posture support. 10/10 recommended whether you have surgery or not!
It is really soft, comfortable, and cute! I cant wait to order more alignmed products!
Kay J.
I put on my Alignmed women's sports bra straight from the mail box the afternoon it arrived, and wore it for the rest of the day in complete comfort. Since that moment, I have worn the bra almost every day without any complaining muscles. I occasionally notice a very faint soreness in my torso muscles, almost a shadow of soreness, but I consider this a sign that my muscles are being exercised according to design. I wear a 40DD sized bra and am right on the cusp between the XL and the XXL sized sports bra. I chose the XL since I wanted the maximum compression between my shoulders. While there was no difficulty fastening the hooks, I had difficulty zipping the bra at first try but finally managed and have had no difficulty since. I do find that the the breast area is extremely compressed which isn't especially flattering to my silhouette, but is comfortable never the less. Removing the pads from the bra gives more room and reduces the bulkiness and I think will enable me to wear the bra under the posture shirt I have just ordered, thus increasing the pull on the shoulder muscles. In each of the orders I have placed with Alignmed, I have consulted with the company's sales representatives and found them to be extremely helpful and patient with all my questions.—and I do ask a lot of questions. I believe that my posture has improved and I no longer have achy shoulders and lower back muscles after working multiple hours on the computer.
Lisa
I am obsessed with this bra! It's my first time feeling the difference of what a supportive bra truly feels like. It gives a slight pull back to ensure posture is always on point. Plus it looks amazing on!
Sarah
This bra is worth every penny!!! My shoulders and upper back ache from sitting at a desk all day. This bra pulls my shoulders back and eliminates that pain!! I totally love this bra, just wish you would put this technology into a regular bra too because I can't always wear a sports bra under work clothes.
Anne
The AlignMed products feel great! They are so comfy to wear. and I never experience back pain after my workout. My posture is much better than before.
Nancy D
I started with 2 posture shirts and then went to Sports Bras.. I now have 11 Sports Bras in the various colors. I like the fact that they have a zipper so the bras are easy to put on and are very comfortable and give you fantastic support. I wear the sports bras everyday.
Marie
I just purchased my second posture bra. It was an amazing lifesaver when my job as a college instructor moved to online classes. Sitting for 6 hours a day made all with difference with better posture support for the back and shoulders. Thank you
Amy
My daughter wears this product to help with shoulder posture to relieve shoulder discomfort. Product is very comfortable and gives her the support and relief needed.
Elise
This is the second posture bra I’ve bought from Align Med. The improvement of bra hooks beneath the zipper are great— there is a whole row of them. I’m a teacher, and remote learning due to COVID-19 has turned my job from standing and constantly moving to sitting at a desk in front of a computer, which caused my pain to act up again, so much so that even crying and laughing hurt my neck and back. One week in this bra and my pain improved to where I hardly even notice it anymore. Only thing I wish is that it didn’t squish my chest, but I guess that is what the bra needs to do in order to straighten your upper back and shoulders. With the elastic doing this job, the pull of your shoulders back is natural and you can’t feel it. Such a great bra if you’re in a lot of pain!
Jaime A
I just got my first Align Med bra today and put it on. What I am most thrilled about and surprised is how comfortable it is. I haven't been wearing a bra regularly because they are so uncomfortable and I do not have large breasts. However, when I ride horses or work out in the gym, it would be nice to have some support for the little girls. This bra has a zipper and hook and eye closure, which keeps it tight. Some front closing bras come apart as soon as you put your arms together to do anything. Hooks and eyes come undone and zippers come unzipped on me anyway. And I have been wanting something to help with my posture. At 72, slumping is difficult to keep at bay and this bra does it all. I cannot say enough wonderful praise for this bra and I just got it!! Love it and hope to get another one soon!!!
Heather
I have been suffering with neck and back pain for over a year. I was visiting the chiropractor often and was told that my neck was very tight and it was pretty ,each the same each time I went. I have been wearing the sports bra and capris for about a month and have noticed my neck and shoulder having much less pain. I went to the chiropractor yesterday and she said that my neck felt so much less tight like I had been getting a massage everyday. Nope. It was alignmed! Thanks!
