ALIGNMED Posture Shirt 2.0 Zipper for Men

It fit fine but support was not in the correct zone where it was really needed. We returned item.

I have been using this brand and style of compression shirt for several years, recommended by my physical therapist. She actually suggested that I get one size smaller to give me extra support. It takes some getting used to since it’s quite tight, but I find that the shirt helps hold my shoulders back exceptionally well.The down side is that my back can get itchy if I wear it for several hours, especially on a warmer day. But I’m willing to put up with it since it helps me so much with my posture. On the days I don’t wear it, I think my muscle memory has been retained to some degree, so I don’t necessarily need to wear it every day.I actually have two shirts now and alternate wearing them. Also, I wash them in cold water and hang-dry them so they’ll last as long as possible. They will eventually stretch enough that they lose their effectiveness and need to be replaced. If taken good care of, they can last at least one to two years. For me, it’s worth the price to improve my posture and reduce upper back and shoulder pain.

So i haven't seen many reviews on this shirt, which is odd as the price of this shirt, and its features make me think that it should have more reviews.By now you've seen the star rating. So i like the shirt a lot, its nice and tight in the shoulders, and the "vents" on the back do a good job of aligning the body posture correctly. I recently had shoulder surgery and my PT therapist has told me i have to straighten my posture out (I always thought i had great posture, so that wasn't fun to here).After talking to her, I decided to use an amazon gift card on this purchase as it was a relative unknown. Fortunately I got it pretty quick and suited it up. The tag mentions you should only use it for a few hours at a time. I disregarded this as i'd been pulling my shoulder blades back and down for a few days and felt like i had "decent' posture. This worked out ok for me, as the shirt immediately helped me align better, but did not feel like compression tape that would artificially pull my shoulders back (and my pt said she wouldn't be doing anyway).So all in all i wear this pretty frequently, it does feel good, it doesn't hurt my back, and i am pretty sure that between the shirt, my pt's exercises to straighten my posture, and my desire to have a functionally shoulder again, things are going great. I highly recommend this shirt if you are recovering from surgery and like me have let your posture change due to the sling you are forced to wear.Only the price keeps it from being 5 stars!

I first got the regular shirt, but it was very hard to put on and take off. I'd never use it because of that pain. The zipper one is great except there is a little bulk from the zipper as expected. First day wearing it. No problem 4+ hours. I'd suggest also doing back exercises, I doubt this will fix posture alone, but it's a good add on.

I play saxophone for a living, and it hangs on a strap around my neck. This tends to make me slouch even when I'm not playing. So I thought this might be a help. It was uncomfortable and didn't allow me to take the huge breaths I need to do my job. It might be right for others, but it didn't work for me.

Shirt is not a compression shirt - it states that on the tags attached to the shirt when it arrived. The upper back section is to large so it doesn't do anything for your posture. It is tight in the arms and fits when your shoulders are forward but when you pull your shoulders back to the proper posture the shirt actually gives no support for back. I purchased both a medium & a small as I wanted to wear the medium on a daily basis & the small under tighter short sleeve shirts - but there really wasn't a difference between the two sizes. A waste of money - I'm not sure why these shirts are over $70 when some off the same shirts that cost under $20 are just as good if not better!

I've worn the posture shirt almost daily for almost 2 weeks.Also, I'm wearing it for about 8-10 hours per day.It's snug as it is meant to be but comfortable.I've not noticed any "posture" benefit yet.I'm beginning to think that I may have wasted my money.I'll continue wearing it for at least a couple of months in orderto see if the shirt truly does help to improve posture.The shirt is expensive - a rip-off if it doesn't do as wasadvertised. At this point, I would not recommend purchasingwhat may be a gimmick. I'll see what happens over the next2 months.

In my opinion, this shirt is the Holy Grail of back support. I'd owned one of these years before and so was not surprised to find that the product is still great.Literally just upon zipping it up my back cracks and I can feel my shoulders pop. I don't know how they do it but the shirt really does assist and straightening out your posture.Totally worth the buy
