Q bands KD and Dr. Andy Barr DPT

While working with elite level professional athletes and utilizing band systems in his programming for many years, Dr. Andy Barr needed something better suited to the needs of each unique athlete and he wanted it to be something that could impact athletes at all levels to reduce injury potential and maximize a person’s ability to play sport. He started to create something that was all encompassing for an athlete to hit both a very specific region of the body and the entire general body as a whole. “Zoomed in and zoomed out,” as Dr. Barr put it, “We wanted the product to impact an athlete’s coordination / motor control of the whole body, with different attachments to be applied to different parts of the body. Something that was of very high quality and trustworthy for athletes to use, with durability and mindfulness built into the product.

Out of this pursuit, the Q Bands were created because the benefit was impactful to performance, longevity, and injury risk reduction. Dr. Barr utilized the Q Bands more and more with high caliber athletes like Kevin Durant and eventually

QBands, aka Quantum Performance Bands, are a first of their kind resistance Training/ Performance/ Rehabalitation Training tool to help with activating core muscle engagement, improving functional strength and power, motor control, and programming coordination/ alignment of the body.

Pre-game bands used by KD

Dr. Andy Barr, DPT has been working in professional sport, with elite athletes across the NBA–WNBA–EPL–MLS–NFL for over 20 years. His unique experience across different sports has led him to developing a system that allows for creative resistance custom tailored to an athlete’s specific needs. Fundamental to Dr. Barr’s custom approach is engaging an athlete’s core/ center of mass to decrease injury potential and enhance performance. Research evidence suggests that the core is more activated when resistance bands are applied across the body.

Dr. Barr has a very creative mind and has always been interested in emerging sports technologies. He has utilized many products and grew tired of waiting for a product that allowed him to bring even more value to the athletes he was working with.

While working with band systems for many years, Andy needed something more… he wanted something that was all encompassing for an athlete to hit both a very specific region of the body and the entire general body as a whole—“Zoomed in and zoomed out.” He also wanted the product to impact an athlete’s coordination / motor control of the whole body, with different attachments to be applied to different parts of the body. Something that was of very high quality and trustworthy for athletes to use, with durability and mindfulness built into the product.

Out of this pursuit, the Q Bands were created because the benefit was impactful to performance, longevity, and injury risk reduction. This blog focuses on the enhancement of sport specific preparation and readiness however future writing will include some of the following benefits: increased core activation, enhanced sport specific moves, maximized athletic talent, build strength/ speed/ stamina, optimized locomotion, develop pro-level precision & control, mobility and flexibility improvements, enhanced psychological and physiological preparedness, enhance proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitations, and many more!
