Formewear sets itself apart as the first-ever line of apparel that uses this system to correctly re-align the body for perfect posture." The innovative, science-backed line of activewear makes shirts, leggings and sports bras that help people reposition their shoulders and align the spine to provide relief from back pain and support better breathing.
The designs incorporate tension bands that help to improve posture, so that people are physically assisted, and over time, muscle memory will help them maintain healthier positions over time. According to co-founder and chief operating officer Seiji Liu, when wearing the styles for "one to two hours a day in various activities for several weeks, you will start to see a noticeable change," and "Over several weeks people will be able to stand taller."
