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.
