Alignmed manufactures and sells “Evidence Based Apparel” which unlike traditional posture braces that provide support by doing the work of your muscles, their posture shirts are actually an article of clothing designed to stimulate muscle movement which corrects body alignment.
In addition to offering evidence based on extensive medical research, Alignmed also shares a rather impressive list of nearly two dozen orthopedics, medical directors, physical therapist and various other medical professionals who currently serve on their advisory board.
Neuroband Technology: Variable tension bands are used to stimulate muscles using biomechanical and biofeedback. These bands are constructed of tightly woven fibers (100% polyester) which stretch in two directions as your body moves. These bands mimic athletic taping (Kinesio), a preventative measure used by athletes to stabilize muscles and prevent injury.
Touch Tension Technology: This terminology refers to the dual directional pull created by the Neurobands.
Muscle-Map Design: Neurobands are selectively incorporated into the back of the shirt to target certain areas which provide support and stability.
Looks interesting. Whether it allows you to achieve anything you couldn't achieve without it, I doubt. Potentially helpful, potentially redundant?
On related note, regular clothing itself can be used as a good guide for postural alignment. It's easier to feel how a shirt contours your torso than it is to feel the alignment of the muscles themselves.
At Starecta we think posture bras and alignment shirts, in general, do not work at all. The reason is simple. They give the feeling of having a straight posture but as soon as you remove them, you recoil to your initial condition. The problem is that they do not act on the only factor that can correct the posture: the skull-mandibular ratio.
At the base of the concept of the posture bra, there is the belief that bad posture is determined by a wrong postural attitude, like sitting at school desks or in the office. This is a completely wrong medieval conception.
The only reason why a person develops lordosis, kyphosis or scoliosis is due to a bad craniomandibular relationship, or incorrect dental extrusion.
This is why we, at Starecta, address this issue in a completely different way. We change the posture through the mouth.

And isnt Starecta just a 'Bra for your skull' promoting vertical growth?
Or do you have any science backing up good changes in the skull and repositioning of the Jaws that are permanent?
Be a good salesman and sell me one of your bras. I'll gladly buy it if you can back anything up.
