Saving me money

The sidekick has been a game changing to self care and recovery. Ive been able to reduce my visits to the doctor and experience immediate relief right after using it.

Don’t need PT anymore

I got this for my shin splints, as well as neck tension and general muscle recovery. It’s all I need and now the whole family uses it too.

I can run again!

My knee has stopped popping constantly and I’m not feeling the tension in my calves that prevents me from picking up the pace. It’s only been a few weeks but I’m a believer!

How do I know if Sidekick will work for me?

If you're dealing with a chronic injury, muscle pain, or tightness, Sidekick is a great option for you. In fact, a clinical study showed that 94% of injured users feel pain relief, so there's a good chance you will too! If the tool doesn't meet your expectations, we have a 60-day money-back guarantee.
Isn't this just Gua Sha?

Exactly! The techniques we promote with our tools are based on 2000-year-old Chinese practices. We took that technique and built the world's best tools to apply it.

The technique of muscle scraping (also known as Gua Sha or IASTM) is one that is backed by science and peer-reviewed clinical research.
Will it make my injury worse?

Using a muscle scraping tool correctly generally won't worsen an injury. As you are in control of the treatment, you have full control of the pressure. Sidekick's edge and weight is specifically designed to safely treat injuries, unlike cheaper tools and butter knives that can do more harm than good.
Why is Sidekick better than a butter knife?

Effectiveness, safety, and comfort. Sidekick is designed for therapeutic use. Unlike a butter knife, which has a flat, blunt edge that may cause more damage or skin irritation, Sidekick has a dual-beveled edge that targets tissues effectively without damaging your skin or muscles. The tool's weight and specific curvatures also allows for much better control compared to using a butter knife.
Is it painful?

No. Sidekick is designed to feel good on the body and you are totally in control of the pressure. Unlike cheaper alternatives, the edge is not too sharp that it will cause pain. When working through areas that are particularly tight, many describe it as a 'good pain' that feels like it's effectively addressing the problem area.
What kind of benefits can I expect?
Speeding up injury recovery, particularly when in conjunction with strengthening program. In a clinical study with plantar fasciitis sufferers, 94% of users felt less pain after using Sidekick for 3 days.
Reduced muscle pain
Increased blood circulation
Injury prevention
Enhanced athletic performance
How do I use it?

For detailed instructions, check out our Learn Lab. Sidekick is a beginner-friendly tool, so it's really easy to use without hurting yourself. After applying emollient to your skin, use your Sidekick tool to apply moderate pressure to the targeted area. Use a mix of long strokes and short strokes, in any direction, to massage the muscle effectively. Repeat on all the surrounding muscles.
