How do posture-correcting clothes work?

The clothes work by influencing the posture. You go from a more sunken attitude to a right attitude. This straightens the back and prevents inappropriate patterns in everyday life, during hard physical work, or sedentary work in the office.

Technically, the posture correcting clothes work by pulling the shoulders into place via elastic bands. Then the muscles are stimulated, the blood circulation increases and a form of muscle memory occurs. This means that even without the clothes, you can maintain the newfound posture and straight back.

Most clothing is based on Kinesio technology. The technology is widespread among athletes who have made use of kinesiology for many decades in the form of Kinesiotape. Kinesio works by activating the muscles and thereby increasing blood circulation.
