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.

One Amazon customer noted that this device is helpful for athletes looking "improve their recovery and performance." It also works well to relieve soreness from "cramps, muscle spasms and long shifts always on your feet."

However, due to the size and shape of this massage gun, some shoppers found that it was "too heavy," which can make it "somewhat difficult to hold onto."

The verdict​
