1. Clinically proven pain relief — 94% felt relief within just 3 days*.

*Based on a clinical study conducted with participants scraping with the Sidekick scraper twice a day, for 5 minutes.

Why won't my foot pain go away?

Most of the time, the real cause of foot pain is tight muscles and tendons in your calves and lower legs that are yanking on your fascia.

The Echo helps you release deep tension in your fascia, relieving pain in your foot instantly—right from home, in less than 5 minutes.

In a clinical study of people suffering from foot pain, 94% reported pain relief within the first 3 days, and most felt a noticeable difference after their very first use.

2. Includes a step-by-step foot pain recovery plan.

No guesswork, no confusion. Every Echo comes with a physical therapist–designed recovery program that walks you through the exact steps to release tension in your calves, feet and lower legs.

This includes a guided rehab plan and 30+ video tutorials so you can see exactly how each movement should look. You’ll know where and how to scrape to target the root of your pain — making your recovery faster, safer, and way more effective.

3. Save thousands $$$ on physical therapy.

The Echo gives you clinic-level results without clinic-level bills.

Inspired by IASTM therapy (Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization), the Echo is a much gentler, at-home alternative that has clinically shown to help safely relieve foot pain at home.

Designed by a physical therapist, it took 29 iterations just to perfect the Echo’s famous edge, so that it could do what no lacrosse ball, foam roller or pair of hands can.

4. Trusted by more than 250,000+ happy customers.

Used by Olympians, runners, NBA champions, and over 250k+ everyday athletes to recover from foot pain and other muscle injuries.

It’s lightweight, compact, and fits anywhere. Keep it in your sports bag for flare-ups, in your nightstand as part of your bedtime routine, or next to the remote control for Netflix and scraping (then chill).

5. Comes with a 60-day full money-back guarantee.

Try the Echo risk-free for 60 days. If you don’t love it, you’ll get a full refund, no strings attached.

The Echo is designed for at-home use and takes just a few minutes a day to release tension and relieve pain. Each muscle scraper comes with a 150-page PT-written recovery guide, so you’ll know exactly what to do to relieve foot pain and move better.

I only had my Echo for a week, but I'm feeling definite improvement with my foot pain. I think this is going to be a game changer.

I love this tool for aches and pains. Easy to grip, sturdy and gets deep areas for pain relief.

I have experienced immediate relief upon using the sidekick. Blown away at just how simple a tool can make such difference.

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.
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.
What kind of benefits can I expect?
