    Believe the hype

    I've been looking for something to provide immediate and long-term relief, and this does it, quickly and easily. Setup is instant and the tool just works. I find myself using it basically every day and I'm so glad I picked one up.

    Such a lifesaver!

    Just started using this and it’s such a smart tool to help prevent future injuries, as well as work out some of my current injuries. Simple to use but very effective!

    Just what I needed

    I tore my calf a few months back and have been going to PT. Scraping before exercise with this tool has really helped me get back to activity! Just the right weight and shape to be very effective with just a few minutes.

Well-Designed, High-Quality Muscle Scraper

I’m really impressed with the Sidekick Curve Muscle Scraper. The quality is excellent—it’s well-designed, and the material feels premium.

Honest Review for Sidekick

Worth it ten times over!! Never knew I needed something so bad until I used it a few times. Just, wow…. Wow! It actually works fantastically!

Works like a charm on my calves; they’re noticeably less sore and I even sleep way better too! 10/10, 5-Stars, would and do recommend for ANY sore muscles and tendons. 💜

Not the same product anymore, feels cheap and misleading

I’ve owned the original Curve muscle scraper since 2021 and really liked it. It had a solid, balanced feel and worked great for deep tissue scraping. When mine broke, I ordered a new one right away, expecting the same product. But as soon as I held it, I could tell something was off. It felt lighter and less dense.

Out of curiosity, I weighed both. My old one came in at 5.50 oz, and the new one was only 4.55 oz. That’s nearly a full oz difference, and it shows. The new scraper feels thinner, doesn’t glide as smoothly, and doesn’t apply pressure the same way. It just doesn’t have the same quality or performance the original had.

It’s disappointing because I trusted this brand and thought I was buying the same thing. Instead, it feels like shrinkflation. Less material, same price. If you’ve used the older version, you’ll notice the downgrade immediately. I feel misled and wish they had been upfront about the changes.

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for your comment and I'm sorry to hear you were disappointed with it. The reason we made the change was so that we could get a more pointed edge. At heavier weights, it was harder to achieve the edge we were looking for. We spent a lot of time refining the edge because ultimately that's what relieves the tension in the muscle.

We're happy to help you process a refund if you're still unhappy with it, but I think you'll find this new edge is more effective! In any case, feel free to send us an email at info@sidekicktool.com anytime and we'll take care of you!

Best,
Sidekick

Amazing!!

I had planter fasciitis surgery 12/30/15. I ordered this tool the following week. I use it 4x's a day. Two weeks later I'm out of the boot and walking normally. Everyone heals differently.. This tool combined with physical therapy and heat really helped. The balm does not have the strong medicinal smell. The customer service is wonderful.

Used...

I was excited to get this product so quickly, but when I opened it, it was obviously used: markings all over it with discoloration. I REALLY wanted and needed to use this to massage scar tissue, but I was expecting s new product not a used one...or I would have opted for a new one. I'm disappointed and really wanted and needed to use this!

This is the only thing I’ve found that can loosen my Achilles and lower ankle

This is the only thing I’ve found that can loosen my Achilles and lower ankle . Saves money on going to the Chiropractor or pt. Can also control the amount of pressure applied when you do it vs someone else can not recommend enough

Great product!

Purchased this device to self-treat plantar fasciitis and gluteal medial tendonopathy. Great quality, nice packaging, and great guidance on the app. I've since upgraded to an Echo in order to be able to more aggressively treat other concerns.

Exercise in the app are really helpful

Exercise in the app are really helpful, and I have less pain after couple days of massage. But, afterwards, the stone seems to be fragile compare to the metal one. I didn’t notice it when I bought it.

A new tool

I've only used it a few times but I can feel how tight my muscles are and this will definitely help with a few problem areas. It's easy to hold and the instruction manual is clear and helpful. Comes in a nice carry case. It seems like a very versatile tool. Can't wait to get more benefit from it.

Great product

First, I’m buying a scraper tool and I must say the quality is pretty impressive. I love the case that the tool came in and the additional cloth along with the multiple exercises in the booklet to help with any type of muscle, I’m targeting. I’m excited to use this routinely in the future. Customer service is also pretty responsive when I was having issues with expedited shipping and help alleviate that process. I would recommend this product to others.

Amazing!

My PT recommended getting a gua sha tool, and I stumbled onto the Sidekick. It’s been really helpful for my Achilles tendinitis. I’m happy to have the travel case, so I can bring it on all my adventures. 11/10 would recommend

I realllllllly like this

I realllllllly like this. I got it because I have some knee pain and achilles pain from just being in my 40s and being active. I can do some scraping at night while I watch TV. I noticed a difference in my knee already.

Questions? We got you.

  • 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.

  • Can I use my HSA/FSA card at Sidekick?

    Yes! We've partnered with Truemed to make this easy. During checkout, you'll see the option to pay with your HSA/FSA funds through Truemed's quick eligibility check.

  • Can I use my regular credit card with Truemed at checkout?

    Yes. Truemed will send you instructions on how to submit for reimbursement from your HSA/FSA administrator.
