An Active Father’s 8-Week Journey Back to Confident Movement
User Name: Chris Paris
Age: 36
Group: Sports enthusiasts (strength training, football)
Symptoms: Joint pain during recovery from tibial plateau fracture, pain and clicking in the other knee.
At 36, Chris Paris lives an active life shaped by two priorities: movement and family. As a father of four—with another child on the way—he spends his days coaching youth soccer, training for strength, and playing in adult leagues. But a tibial plateau fracture in his left knee changed how freely he could move.
Although the fracture healed, lingering joint pain followed every lower-body workout and soccer match. Over time, his right knee began clicking and aching as well, adding uncertainty to activities he once took for granted.

“The pain impacts how fully I can show up for my kids.”
Chris had already tried physical therapy, compression, sauna sessions, contrast therapy, and active recovery methods. Each helped in small ways, but none solved the bigger issue: recovery time. After matches or intense training, he often needed two to three full days before he could move comfortably again.
His goal was clear—reduce inflammation, improve joint mobility, and stay active long-term without fear of setbacks.
Weeks 1–2: Early Relief and Shorter Recovery Windows
Chris began using PRUNGO FluxGo on both knees, integrating it into his existing recovery routine. At this stage, he stayed cautious but attentive to small changes.
“I’ve seen that window of recovery decreasing quite a bit.”
Within two weeks, something shifted. After playing a match and coaching on consecutive days, Chris noticed he no longer woke up expecting pain. The clicking in his right knee also began to fade. While he continued foam rolling and stretching, FluxGo became a consistent addition rather than a last-resort tool.

He also noted the physical build of the system—the modules, straps, and charging case—gave him confidence in using it regularly, even around sport.
Weeks 3–4: Consistency Over Breakthroughs
By the one-month mark, Chris was using FluxGo daily, often twice a day, usually on a stronger setting after soccer or strength training. Rather than dramatic changes, he noticed stability.
“The clicking in my right knee hasn’t come back.”
Flare-ups still happened, but they felt more manageable. On sore days, red light sessions helped loosen tight joints and restore comfort faster. FluxGo also became more portable—something he brought to the pitch and used before and after pickup games.
“It’s becoming part of my recovery routine.”

At this stage, the value wasn’t just pain reduction, but confidence: the ability to stay active without constantly second-guessing his knees.
Weeks 5–6: Expanding Use Beyond the Knees
Midway through the second month, Chris developed shin splints that threatened to sideline him. Instead of stopping activity altogether, he adjusted how he used FluxGo—targeting different areas of the lower leg with multiple modules.
“I was actually able to play soccer and felt pretty good.”
Rather than pushing through pain, Chris focused on maintenance and muscle relaxation. The flexibility of the system allowed him to respond to new issues quickly, before they escalated.

Weeks 7–8: Long-Term Perspective and Realistic Expectations
After eight weeks, Chris reflected on his experience more holistically. His knee pain had decreased, his right knee mobility improved, and—most notably—his mental load around movement had changed.
“I’m no longer constantly thinking about how my knees feel.”
Recovery time no longer dictated his schedule. He could train, coach, and play without worrying how many days it would take to feel normal again. Still, Chris remained realistic.
“FluxGo is not a miracle cure.”
What he valued most was consistency and control. FluxGo wasn’t a one-time fix, but a tool that rewarded regular use. Moving forward, he plans to use it a few times a week for maintenance, increasing frequency around heavier training or important matches.

He also discovered its versatility when elbow inflammation from rock climbing appeared—another reminder that recovery needs change over time.
“It’s easy to address the problem before it gets worse.”
A Sustainable Tool for an Active Life
For Chris, PRUNGO FluxGo didn’t replace smart training or recovery habits—it supported them. By reducing pain, shortening recovery windows, and restoring confidence in movement, it earned a place in his long-term wellness toolkit.
“I will continue to use it.”
For athletes, parents, and anyone balancing performance with longevity, Chris’s journey highlights what consistent, targeted recovery can realistically offer—not perfection, but freedom to keep moving.
