HOW IT WORKS
Sidekick's tools are designed to break down the scar tissue and adhesions under the skin. This improves blood flow around the area and consequently your muscles and joints feel looser, lighter and more fluid.
The Science Behind This is Simple
Your fascia is made up of fibers. In an ideal scenario, they stretch and rebound smoothly (cases 1 and 2)When there are scar tissues and adhesions (also known as Crosslinks), the muscles are impinged when stretched and consequently can lead to tightness and pain. (cases 3 and 4).
By eliminating these adhesions, you feel much lighter and looser.

This is a great product and has had very positive results for my patients. It resulted in my patients feeling better quickly and improving overall function of the area. I would definitely recommend this to other healthcare professionals to help bring healing to painful areas of the body.

Using the Flowstick on my injured shoulder really helped alleviate the pain and improve it’s mobility. I’m now able to perform overhead exercises I was just recently unable to do pain-free. I feel I’m getting close to 100% functional on my injured shoulder much quicker using the tool just a few times per week. Great rehab/injury prevention tool. I’d recommend it for all athletes.

I had some shin splints and some biceps tendon issues going on and within a few days of using the tool, I had almost no symptoms from either issue…I would definitely recommend the tool to any provider out there looking to take care of any soft tissue problem they are facing.
