Curated by Workshop Notes · Updated June 2026
Built for trade pros and athletes who need a heavy-duty scraper to break down scar tissue and maintain range of motion after physical labor. Not for people looking for a soft massage or vibration therapy—this shop focuses on high-grade clinical-style steel and stone tools.
Curator's pick: Sidekick Curve Muscle Scraper
This is the most balanced tool in the kit because of the various edge radii that actually fit around a forearm or calf. Unlike the cheaper plastic versions, the weight of the steel does the work for you so you don't have to white-knuckle the grip.
⚠ Worth knowing: These tools are unforgiving on cold muscles and require a lubricant like the Revive Gel to prevent skin abrasion. If you skip the emollient, you'll end up with bruising and surface burns rather than deep tissue relief.

How to use this together
1
Prepare Your Skin
Begin by applying a generous amount of Sidekick Revive Muscle Scraper Gel to the area you intend to treat. This ensures the scraping tool glides smoothly over your skin, minimizing friction and discomfort while enhancing the effectiveness of the myofascial release.
2
Select Your Scraper
Choose the appropriate scraper for the muscle group you are targeting. The Sidekick Curve is versatile for larger areas, while the Sidekick Echo or Eclipse might be preferred for more precise work on smaller, deeper muscle knots or scar tissue. Hold the scraper at a 30-45 degree angle.
3
Perform Myofascial Release
Gently but firmly stroke the scraper over the gel-lubricated skin in one direction, following the muscle fibers. Apply consistent pressure, adjusting based on your comfort level. Focus on areas of tightness or tenderness to help break down adhesions and improve blood flow. Repeat each stroke 5-10 times.
4
Target Foot Pain
For plantar fasciitis relief, use the Sidekick Heel Hero. Sit and place your foot on the tool, rolling it along your arch and heel with gentle pressure. This helps to stretch the plantar fascia and relieve tension, making it an excellent addition to your post-scraping routine.
5
Enhance Stability and Balance
Incorporate the Sidekick AxisBoard for improving balance and core strength. After your scraping sessions, stand on the board and perform gentle balance exercises. This not only strengthens supportive muscles but also helps integrate the flexibility gained from myofascial release into functional movement.
