The posture correcting ActivePosture® shirt improves your posture and has a documented effect on reducing pain in the back, neck and shoulders.
With the posture correcting ActivePosture® shirt, you can optimise your posture and improve your body position in all everyday activities and chores. The t-shirt can also help improve your posture in situations where you sit down and relax.
The ActivePosture® shirt, known as Posture Shirt™ 2.0, is designed and developed with integrated support straps, which provide support to the muscles around the back, shoulders and neck. These support bands have been developed with inspiration from the use of kinesio-tape and knowledge of human physiology.
Posture Shirt ™ 2.0 is the original posture correcting t-shirt on the market and the only one of its kind that is CE registered as a medical device. The t-shirt has a documented effect from scientific studies, which show that the ActivePosture® shirt can have a positive effect on chronic pain. Read more about this below.
The ActivePosture® Posture Shirt™ 2.0 is registered as a medical device. The CE certification is a documentation that the product meets the requirements for quality and safety that have been set for medical equipment. The ActivePosture® shirt is the only one of its kind with such certification. It is always good to keep a healthy suspicion when looking for a posture shirt with many poorly made counterfeit products on the market. These counterfeit products are almost always shipped from countries abroad (if shipped at all).
The ActivePosture® shirt is produced in a material with a unique composition of spandex, nylon and polyester, which makes it extremely mobile and ensures breathability. The material is antimicrobially treated, which makes it transport the sweat away from the body and limits body odeur. This makes the t-shirt ideal to use when you are physically active.
ActivePosture® has the European patent on the technology used to produce the unique support straps integrated in the Posture Shirt™. The support bands are called NeuroBands™, and the technology behind these bands are based on research on human physiology. They are designed to reflect the contractile and resilient abilities of the muscles around the back and shoulders. Thus, they provide support to the muscles and allow full movement without overtaking the muscles' functionality.
The ActivePosture® shirt is the only posture correcting t-shirt on the market with a documented effect on relieving pain and tension from scientific studies.
In a customer survey in which more than 1000 ActivePosture® customers participated, the results show that the posture clothing works. In the study, users tested the ActivePosture® shirt and it was concluded that posture clothing has a positive effect on posture and on the relief of pain and muscle tension.
At the same time, it was concluded that there is a positive correlation between an improved posture and reduced pain. This means that an improved posture can relieve pain in the back, shoulders and neck because the muscles are supported and relieved when the body is in its optimal position.

In my treatment, I recommend Posture Shirt 2.0 for several different issues. The typical ones are pain in the neck, shoulders and back. I think the shirt does really well by correcting the posture, but also by increasing posture awareness on the postural muscles as well as the muscles around the shoulder blade, which affect the functionality of the shoulder. Several of the shoulder blade muscles are also connected to the neck and can contribute to headaches.
Do you have a physically demanding job, for example as a craftsman, where asymetrical working positions are part of your working day? Or maybe you have a predominantly standing job, for example as a hairdresser, where you find yourself in the same static positions over and over again? Regardless of profession, the ActivePosture® shirt will help you find and maintain the most optimal posture throughout the working day, thus preventing unnecessary tension, wear and tear and muscle pain as a result of a poor working position.
The ActivePosture® shirt is useful for sports and training, as it is made of a breathable, sweat-transporting and movable material. It ensures that the muscles of the back and shoulders are activated and that the body is in its optimal position when a given activity is performed. It can be used for cycling, horseback riding, strength training, running, hiking and as a base layer when playing football, rugby or basketball. In the UK it is very popular amongst people playing tennis and golf; asymmetrical sports, where posture is really key to perform at the best of one’s ability. For training purposes, the ActivePosture shirt can help prevent injuries because it provides an improved starting point for remembering to tighten up the muscles, which can ultimately help prevent injuries.
As in the other everyday situations, an ActivePosture® shirt can help your body adopt the most optimal posture when performing household chores. It is not restricting movement and can therefore be used whether you clean, cook, mown the lawn, or arrange the laundry. By performing the tasks with the body in an optimal posture, pain and tension are prevented and relieved.
The ActivePosture® shirt is also ideal to wear when watching TV, reading a book or just relaxing. By using your posture-correcting t-shirt for both activity and relaxation, the body gets used to the optimised posture more easily. In the long run, it will make the muscles “remember” the good posture, even when you are not wearing the t-shirt.
