The method includes seamlessly weaving at least a posterior portion of a shirt from a first thread having a first elasticity; and seamlessly weaving a plurality of bands into the posterior portion of the shirt using a second thread having a second elasticity different from the first elasticity. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method for making a shirt that includes an anterior portion and a posterior portion, the method comprising: seamlessly weaving at least a posterior portion of a shirt from a first thread having a first elasticity; and seamlessly weaving a plurality of bands into the posterior portion of the shirt using a second thread having a second elasticity different from the first elasticity. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein at least the posterior portion of the shirt is seamlessly woven concurrently while the plurality of bands is seamlessly woven into the posterior portion of the shirt. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the bands have a different elasticity to the remainder of the shirt. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the posterior portion is a single layer of fabric that includes the plurality of bands seamlessly woven into the posterior portion of the shirt. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the first elasticity is higher than the second elasticity. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the first elasticity is lower than the second elasticity. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, including seamlessly weaving an anterior portion and the posterior portion of the shirt, wherein the anterior and posterior portions of the shirt are integrally formed. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The method of claim 7, further comprising seamlessly weaving a plurality of additional bands into the anterior portion of the shirt using the second thread. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the plurality of bands includes a spine band extending longitudinally across the posterior portion from a neck region of the shirt toward a waist portion of the shirt, such that in use, the spine band is positioned over a spine of a wearer to stimulate cutaneous nerve receptors in a portion of a wearer's skin underneath the spine band. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The method of claim 9, wherein the plurality of bands includes at least two shoulder bands, each radiating from the spine band and extending towards a respective shoulder region of the shirt toward the anterior portion of the shirt. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The method of claim 10, wherein the anterior portion of the shirt includes diagonal panels, and the shoulder bands are connected to the diagonal panels. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the plurality of bands includes oblique bands, each extending around a respective side of the shirt from the posterior portion of the shirt toward a waist portion and the anterior portion of the shirt in a helical pattern. ### Claim 13 A shirt comprising: an anterior portion; a posterior portion seamlessly woven with the anterior portion, wherein the posterior portion is woven from a first thread having a first elasticity; and a plurality of bands seamlessly woven into the posterior portion, wherein the plurality of bands is woven from a second thread having a second elasticity different from the first elasticity. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The shirt of claim 13, wherein the bands have a different elasticity to the remainder of the shirt, and a respective band, of the plurality of bands, has an elasticity higher than an elasticity of the remainder of the shirt. ### Claim 15 (depends on 13) The shirt of claim 13, wherein the bands have a different elasticity to the remainder of the shirt, and a respective band, of the plurality of bands, has an elasticity lower than an elasticity of the remainder of the shirt. ### Claim 16 (depends on 13) The shirt of claim 13, wherein the posterior portion is a single layer of fabric that includes the plurality of bands seamlessly woven in with the one or more remaining portions of the posterior portion. ### Claim 17 (depends on 13) The shirt of claim 13, wherein both the anterior portion and the posterior portion of the shirt are integrally formed. ### Claim 18 (depends on 13) The shirt of claim 13, wherein the plurality of bands includes a spine band extending longitudinally across the posterior portion from a neck region of the shirt toward a waist portion of the shirt, such that in use, the spine band is positioned over a spine of a wearer and stimulates cutaneous nerve receptors in a portion of a wearer's skin underneath the spine band. ### Claim 19 (depends on 18) The shirt of claim 18, wherein the plurality of bands includes at least two shoulder bands, each radiating from the spine band and extending over a respective shoulder region of the shirt toward the anterior portion of the shirt. ### Claim 20 (depends on 13) The shirt of claim 13, wherein the plurality of bands includes oblique bands, each extending around a respective side of the shirt from the posterior portion of the shirt toward a waist portion and the anterior portion of the shirt in a helical pattern.
