ALIGNMED Posture Shirt Pullover for Men

Big help with my posture. Comfortable to wear all day.

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 had read some negative reviews concerning problems with the zipper on the zipper version of this shirt, so I purchased this 'pullover' version. It comes with instructions which explain how to put it on, placing your arms into the arm holes first and then putting your head in the head hole. All well and good, and the shirt really did feel like it was helping me with my posture. The problem came when I went to take OFF the shirt. (there were no instructions concerning this.) Pulling up the tight shirt over my head it got stuck and I'm walking around with my arms up and the shirt over my head looking like a comedian in an old black & white filmed comedy short. Fortunately my wife came by and after laughing for a few minutes helped me out of it. I immediately returned the shirt and bought the zipper version, which even though it required some special instructions also (connecting some hook and eye "helpers" before zippering) was much more satisfactory and I'm keeping it.

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

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.

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.

In my opinion the shirt is great I use it during my work day and also during my karate workout. It looks good and I feel good. It is easy to wash and dry. I need to buy at least one more. The only problem was buying white and sending them black.
