QL Active Release Technique and body weight + 40kg Chin








Here we have Active Release Technique in action on Justin Maguire (127kg), during a training session.  The lift demonstrated is during a set of 10 reps with the load being body weight + 40kg.  The release techniques demonstrated are part of the ongoing management of Maguire's condition.  The versatility and effectiveness of ART have helped this athlete push the boundaries of his physical capability, with increases in both volume and load often being achieved following treatment.

The ART demonstrated is releasing the QL.  As is evident, even with an athlete of this size, with correct positioning and technique, the release may be easily and effectively used.

  1. The patient also allows his or her body to be moved into various positions as the therapy progresses. During these movements, the patient can expect to experience pain due to the break down of adhesions all over the body. The body feels the pain because the body is not yet used to the loosened muscle. That is why for every movement, the body encounters pain.

    After several sessions of ART or active release technique, the soft tissues in the patient's body restore its optimal texture, tightness, mobility and function. The body then responds by working in its best form without pain and stress.
