Claims (15)

1. A method for manufacturing a garment device for correcting a wearer's posture, comprising:

providing a mesh body;

inserting a variable tension poly-elastic strap with at least one vertical seam into an elastic strap casing that is stitched onto the mesh body,

wherein the variable tension poly-elastic strap is configured to correct the wearer's posture to a natural posture by pulling portions of the musculo-skeletal frame into correct postural alignment.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the elastic strap is configured around the medial point of the scapula of the wearer.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein a casing is integrated into the construction of the elastic strap to provide comfort to the wearer.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the mesh body is breathable.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the variable tension poly-elastic strap includes at least two seams and wherein the at least two seams are evenly spaced along the variable tension poly-elastic strap.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the mesh body is made from materials chosen from the group consisting of: nylon, spandex, cotton, polyester, chiffon, denim, lace, leather, wool, or a combination thereof.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the variable tension poly-elastic strap ceases posterior pull and allows for a full range of motion for the wearer and the restriction of movement is minimized.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the mesh body has a variable length selected from a group consisting of: a shortened length stopping just below the chest, an extended length stopping below the waist, and a medium length stopping at the bellybutton/midsection length.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the variable tension poly-elastic strap provides postural support to a wearer suffering from less than ideal posture, or suffering a related malady selected from the following group consisting of: rounded shoulders, scapular dysknesis, kyphosis, forward head, lordosis, scoliosis, rounded shoulder from cervical spine injury, rotator cuff tears, shoulder pathologies, acromioclavicular joint separation, arthritis, and general posterior musculature weakness.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the variable tension poly-elastic strap ceases posterior pull and allows for a full range of motion for the wearer and the restriction of movement is minimized.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the mesh body includes sleeves, and wherein the sleeves of the mesh body extend at least below the deltoid of the wearer.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the sleeves of the mesh body extend to fit a long sleeve or short sleeve shirt.
