I have to admit I am probably not the target audience for this tool as I bought it to help with my complications of my autoimmune disease that makes my muscles very stiff. This muscle scraper helps me release tight muscles enough so that I can exercise/walk without ruining my posture/being stooped over. I almost cried the first time I used it because its such a simple premise and yet I saw immediate results after working on a knot on my hip. If you are on the fence, just buy it- it really does help and you'll be more in tune with any tight spots going forward.
I’ve only had my Echo for a week, but I’m feeling definite improvement with my plantar fasciitis. I think this is going to be a game changer.
Great product. The quality is outstanding. The axis board really works the different muscles in your feet and ankles. The are a number of different setup variations to target different muscle so you can address different weaknesses. After 3 minutes per foot you can feel your muscles burning. Highly recommended to anyone wanting to build their ankle strength or rehab an injury.
I gave the Eclipse a try, and after my first use, I could already feel improvements in my Plantar Fasciitis. It just felt less tense and less painful walking around my home for the rest of the night. After a couple weeks of use, my PF isn't gone, but it's 90% better and I hope it'll be gone forever soon enough. Give it a try!
Well, it’s definitely made a positive difference! Right from the first use, the muscle aches and fatigue levels after scraping seem to be greatly diminished from years of previous experiences without scraping. I’m not going back! Quality of materials seems very good too, but time will tell.
Muscle Scraper, Case, and Cloth all feel incredibly high quality. Muscle Scraper fits in your hand quite nice. Scraper contours fit your muscles almost perfectly. Incredibly satisfied with purchase.
Absolutely love the Sidekick muscle scraper! This tool has been a game-changer for my recovery. It's easy to use, comfortable to grip, and effective at breaking up tight fascia and relieving muscle tension. I’ve noticed a significant improvement in my mobility and faster recovery times after workouts. The different edges allow for precise scraping on large or small muscle groups, making it quite versatile. It also has a premium feel. Highly recommend it for anyone serious about self-care and recovery!
TLDR: this is the only recovery tool I've purchased that has brought instant relief to multiple forms of tension and pain in my body. I bought the echo after dealing with years of chronic injuries and fascia tension and finding limited relief. I had gone to a massage therapist who performed Graston Technique and provided me instant and lasting relief from knee pain. I wanted the ability to get this sort of relief without having to see a professional and found the SideKick Echo. This tool has helped immensely with issues from peroneal tendonitis to instant neck and tension headache relief. I could not recommend it more highly.
So far, I am impressed with the sidekick tool. I think it helps reduce knee pain and reduces pain caused by nagging knots in my glutes and IT Band. I’ve been using it for a few weeks, so I can’t speak to long term effects yet.
I’ve started using the muscle scraper about a week ago and I’m already seeing improvements on my planter fasciitis, I feel less and less pain and less stifness in my claves. So far so good!
I got these because I'm training to get back on the ski slopes and am doing leg strengthening exercises. Incorporating the sidekick balance board helps take it to the next level. I feel that it will help me get ready for when the piste is not well-groomed. They are easy to use and have different set-ups for various purposes!
The weight and feel of the swerve gave me confidence to test it out immediately .
It’s not painful at all I’ve also used it on my legs the following day after a long hard run as part of self care and recovery It’s an additional piece of kit in my tool box to use .
I am astounded at how quickly my IT band pain reduced. Shocked….flabbergasted! Within 3 days I felt reduction of pain. Pain that had been holding me back for months. I am so very pleased that I made this purchase
As someone with flat feet transitioning towards barefoot shoes, I have to say this is one of the greatest equipment to elevate your foot and ankle workout to the next level
Can’t wait to see results and get better balance
