ALIGNMED Posture Shirt Pullover for Men

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.

Bought this as a gift for my husband because he has a lot of issues with his back and how he sits at work. He is able to wear this under his scrubs and loves the support. The tightness takes a little time to get used to but he has asked for multiples so he always has a clean one to wear. I would definitely recommend for anyone who has low back issues/ finds themselves in odd positions throughout their day and needs a little extra support.

Shirt was very well made, but an extremely tight fit. Husband got it to help with rotator cuff pain, and it wasn't helpful.

Hubby loves it, good support all day at work & at gym, ordered 5 so far!! Might get a couple more! He was getting sore on his computer at work, said this does seem to be helping quite a bit

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.

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

My Orthopedic Surgeon told me about this and glad I bought it. I had a C5C6 disc replacement, L4-S1 microdiscectomy with decompression then a fusion in the same area with decompression years later. Currently, I'm dealing with a C6C7 and T8T9 disc rupture and inflammation up and down the spine from cervical to SI joints. This shirt helps me sit and stand more upright and provides the support I need to take pressure off of my spine. I wore it all day several days when I first got it but it does smell and could make any shirt you wear over it smell as well since it's polyester so I only wear it few hours at a time now and let it air out. Spraying unscented body spray can reduce the smell for your next wear. For what it does for your body, I highly recommend it. If the manufacturer can figure out how to reduce the smell so it's not so potent, would be great.

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.
