Since first bursting onto the wellness scene a few years ago as a pricey gadget, massage guns have become a popular way to relax and unwind. Luckily, you can find several models that won't set you back an arm and a leg anymore, as they have become much more affordable to purchase.

Take the Toloco Massage Gun for example. This percussive massage gun with thousands of five star reviews is on sale now for just $79 at Amazon Canada. Normally retailing for $260, this popular massage gun is now a whopping 70 per cent off; however, there's a catch.

The massage gun is an Amazon Lightning Deal, meaning that shoppers only have a few hours to save. To shop the deal (which, by the way, would make a great Father's Day gift) before the clock runs out or the supply is gone, scroll below.

How does it work?​

This percussive massage gun helps to relieve sore muscles and tension by penetrating deep into the body's tissues. It comes with 15 interchangeable massage heads that can be used on all parts of the body, including the legs, arms, abs and back — even the hands and feet.

The Toloco massage gun features seven different speeds, each bringing a different intensity massage experience. Its easy to read LED touch screen also displays the massage gun's speed, power level and pressure intensity at a glance.

Why use a massage gun?​

There's no doubt that a massage just feels good on sore muscles, but studies have shown that there are benefits us using tools like this affordable massage gun. Vibration therapy has been shown to help alleviate post-workout soreness, which helps you get back to exercising faster. Studies have also shown that pre-workout massages can even result in decreased muscle soreness after an intense sweat session.

In spite of these potential health benefits, there are some risks to using a massage gun, especially if used incorrectly. Excessive use may lead to ruptured blood vessels, nerve sensitivity, ligament strain or muscle fibre damage.

If you're curious about incorporating one into your fitness routine, be sure to speak with a doctor or healthcare professional ahead of time.

Not only is this the "quietest massage gun that I have used," but it "needs no pressure to get the job done," says another reviewer. It's the "best massage gun I have used."

It's a "great product" that "helps relieve pain," writes a third Amazon shopper. Plus, the "battery life is amazing."

Despite nearly 27,000 five-star reviews, some say the wellness tool is on the "heavy side" and wish it had physical buttons instead of touch controls.

The verdict​

At its current price of $79, the Toloco Massage Gun is an affordable option if you're looking to dive into the world of at-home massage. Shoppers have praised its effective performance that helps relieve tired and sore muscles, although some shoppers did find it to be a little too heavy for prolonged use.
