Curated by The Training Floor · Updated June 2026
Built for athletes and weightlifters who need targeted lubrication for Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) to manage chronic tightness and scar tissue. Not for those seeking a standard massage oil; this shop focuses on specialized lubricants and scraping tools designed for clinical-grade muscle release.
Curator's pick: Sidekick Pump Gel Muscle Relieving Lubricant
Most lubricants dry out mid-session or stain gear, but this gel maintains a consistent glide that's essential for detecting tissue adhesions with the scraper. It lacks that overwhelming medicinal smell common in cheap topicals, making it much more bearable for long recovery sessions.
⚠ Worth knowing: Using these scraping tools without proper instruction can lead to bruising or skin irritation if too much pressure is applied. These tools are most effective when paired with a specific mobility program rather than just rubbing the skin randomly.

How to use this together
1
Prepare the Area
Begin by applying a generous amount of Sidekick Pump Gel to the target muscle area. This lubricant is crucial for creating a smooth glide, reducing friction, and preventing skin irritation while maximizing the effectiveness of the scraping process.
2
Select Your Tool
Choose the appropriate Sidekick muscle scraper tool for the area you're treating. For large muscle groups or deep tissue, the Eclipse or Echo are ideal. For contoured areas like limbs, the Curve provides precise access. The correct tool selection ensures maximum contact and effective myofascial release.
3
Begin Scraping Technique
Using gentle to moderate pressure, scrape the tool in one direction along the muscle fibers. Start with light strokes and gradually increase pressure as comfortable. Focus on areas of tension or knots, but avoid scraping directly over bones or joints. Repeat for 5-10 minutes per area.
4
Integrate Balance Training
After muscle work, use the Sidekick AxisBoard to improve stability and proprioception. This helps re-educate your muscles and nervous system, leading to better overall body control and reduced risk of future injuries. For lower leg issues, the Heel Hero will complement scraping by strengthening and increasing ankle mobility.
