ALIGNMED Posture Shirt 2.0 - Zipper - Womens

I like the tight fit (bought a small). It has hooks along the bottom 2-3" to get you started. Once those are hooked, it is easy to pull up the zipper. I find the arms uncomfortable so far, but am getting used to them. It is not so tight that you are forced into an straight posture, but it is pretty tight. I don't feel like eating as much when I wear it!(If you wear anything under it, that undergarment will be pressed very tightly into your skin. Bra's become uncomfortable by the end of the day.)

My physical therapist suggested I try this shirt to keep my shoulders back and decrease the impingement on my rotator cuff. It seems to be working after wearing it each day for a week. I started with a few hours and increased it one day to 12+ hours. I do not wear to exercise classes because it makes me warm and haven't worn it to bed. I bought a medium zipped up front version. With my shoulder, I'd never be able to get the pullover off. I am 5'7", 130 lbs. and 36B bra. If I wore a larger bra cup/size, I'd consider a large since it's snug across the chest.

I didn't really want to pay this much, but it's worth every penny. This shirt makes me feel good. I have chronic muscle tightness in my back and find this to be a major pain reliever. Who knew my posture was the problem? I ordered just a bit smaller than I expected based on the guidelines that suggested the snugger the better. The tightness is the reason it works so well on my sore back. Don't order too large.

Great shirt. I’ve had intelliskin shirts in the past and the quality is comparable. I ordered a small in this shirt but probably would have been fine ordering a medium as well since the chest is a little snug. I’m a 32DD size 2 and it’s not painful but the support is similar to a high impact sports bra at this size.I’m a pretty straightforward medium in intelliskin shirts so this one is slightly larger.This is helping my back and shoulders and I’m happy I purchased. You’re meant to feel a bit of a tug for it to be working - so I think some reviewers may have benefitted from ordering a smaller size if they are complaining it was loose.

I have terrible posture. I expected this to pull my shoulders back and hold me there. It didn't even come close. The size was right but it simply does not have the necessary tension that I need. I returned it and tried a strap. BINGO! It works great. I suggest looking for one with the straps closer to your arms rather than your neck. It's better at pulling the shoulders back. Also, get an adjustable one as you can set it to your own comfort level. The only downside is I need some help putting it on although that may change the more I get used to it. The upside? Posture shirt: $89, strap: $13

As someone with "loose joints" and an allergy to most kinesiotapes, I am thrilled with my Alignmed Zip Posture Shirt (womens XL). The length is a bit long on me at 5'2", but that extra length actually provides additional hip support for me. I find that this shirt allows me to do a little more on days when my thoracic spine and surrounding muscles are weak or inflamed.

I have a aligned shirt that I bought several years ago. It is a size medium and it is getting a bit tight. I bough a large size and when it came, it was labeled large and is smaller than the medium I already have. I think it was mislabeled. I called Alignmed and they said the style had changed and the elastic in the fabric was not as stretchable. I laid it beside the medium that I had and the large was much smaller then the medium. I could hardly get it on. according to the charts I am just at the line of a medium or large. I talked with them several times to no avail. I was afraid to order the XL.Who knows what I would have received. I really need this type of shirt...but evidently , not from Alignmed. I did send them the picture of the med and the large.

This item was recommended by the occupational therapist to help with posture following DIEP Flap reconstruction surgery. Although I had my doubts as to the support being built into the shirt, it actually has helped with my posture. It fit as expected. Did wash it upon receipt as there was a strong smell, but must have been manufacturing or packaging related as it has gone away. I wear this over a compression camisole, instead of directly like a shirt. Makes a bit tighter, but given where I am in the process and don't want to have to launder after each wearing, I wear it like a jacket than as a shirt. It works for me. I can recommend this item for this purpose.

I am happy with this item because it hold you in nicely, but I do not feel like it makes any real difference when it comes to my posture. All in all I am still happy with my purchase.

I purchased this shirt for my mother as a Christmas present; this shirt significantly improved her standing posture and significantly reduced her back aches. I recommend it without hesitation.
