Ambitious cyclist, but struggling with long-standing injuries and pain management. Seeking pain relief and greater flexibility without relying on painkillers.
Leon Brookes, an avid cyclist and social media content creator, faced both physical and emotional challenges after a life-changing accident last year.

Despite his active lifestyle, which included being a Komoot ambassador and starting a YouTube channel, his chronic shoulder injury and recurring calf issues made cycling difficult.
The accident left him with lasting shoulder pain, for which physiotherapy had little effect. Additionally, Leon was anxious and dependent on painkillers just to get through his rides.
When Leon was introduced to Prungo FluxGo by a fellow cyclist, he was initially skeptical about red light therapy. However, eager to find relief, he decided to give it a try.
Week 1: A New Approach to Pain Relief
Leon was initially unsure about the effectiveness of red light therapy, but after receiving the FluxGo device, he was quickly intrigued by its warming sensation. He began using it daily, not only on his shoulder but also on his abdomen, where he had struggled with IBS and IBD for years.
"To my surprise, it helped from the FIRST time I used it and stopped another painful flare-up in its tracks. After one week, I've already taken less medication than I have for the last 12 months."
While it was still early to judge the impact on his shoulder, Leon was pleasantly surprised by the device's effect on his digestive issues. He hoped that the therapy would also help with his shoulder and calf injuries.

Week 2: Finding Comfort and Relief
By the second week, Leon was getting more comfortable with the device, finding the setup and strap adjustments easier. He began to notice that the heat combined with the red light and infrared technology helped with muscle fatigue and relaxation.
"I had a stiff neck from a long road bike ride, but the Prungo cleared it in two sessions. Well done, FluxGo, you really saved me a lot of discomfort."
Leon was beginning to look forward to his daily sessions, saving the sorest areas for last to maximize the heat's soothing effects.

Week 3: Unexpected Benefits
In week three, Leon found that red light therapy was not only easing his shoulder pain but was also helpful for other minor injuries. He used the device after rides for muscle recovery and even on an old basketball injury in his hand.
"Red light therapy has proven to be so versatile. It’s no longer something I have to fit into my routine, but something that helps me unwind both physically and mentally. The results are starting to show, and I’m absolutely marvelling at how easy it is to use."
This marked a turning point where the device became an integral part of his daily routine.

Week 4: Building Confidence and Improving Mental Health
By the fourth week, Leon had fully integrated the FluxGo into his routine. He found that the relief from physical pain had improved his mental well-being, reducing his anxiety, which had been a lingering effect of his accident.
"Red light therapy isn't just about pain relief—it’s also a lifeline for people who thought suffering was part of daily life. I now realize there is light (red) at the end of the tunnel."

Leon even began to plan his return to swimming, something he had avoided due to post-COVID anxiety and the trauma from his accident. The therapy had a profound effect on his overall wellness, mentally and physically.
Week 5: A Test of Trust
Curious about whether his progress was a placebo effect, Leon decided to stop using the device for a few days. He quickly realized how much the FluxGo had been helping him.
"By day 3, my old aches and pains started to return, and by day 4, I could really notice the difference of not using it daily. I’m sorry for doubting you, Prungo."

Once he resumed use, the relief came swiftly, and he was back to feeling calm and relaxed after long shifts and physical activity.
Week 6: Red Light Therapy in Cold Weather
As the weather turned cold and wet in the UK, Leon’s arthritis flared up, and his old injuries began to ache. Yet, the FluxGo device remained a reliable source of comfort.
"The warming heat really starts to build, and it’s so relaxing to use on cold evenings. I’m using it pre-ride to prime my muscles, and so far, no new muscle fatigue injuries while cycling."
His shoulder pain from the accident continued to improve, and Leon felt confident in using the device every day, even as the weather worsened.

Week 7: Overcoming Stiffness and Managing Injury
By week seven, Leon’s neck injury, which had flared up from his accident, was responding well to red light therapy. He was able to get through his workdays without relying on painkillers.
"Red light therapy is the future of sports injuries and injury prevention."
Leon continued to use the device twice daily, finding it effective for his shoulder, neck, and even old calf injuries.

Week 8: A Life Transformed
At the end of his eight-week journey, Leon’s skepticism had completely turned into belief. The pain in his shoulder, which had once seemed like a lifelong burden, had significantly reduced, and his flexibility had improved.
"I can honestly say, hand on heart, that red light therapy 100% works. Physiotherapy had told me my shoulder wouldn’t improve, but Prungo FluxGo has given me my life back. I can now cycle pain-free, without relying on painkillers."
Leon’s physical transformation, along with the mental clarity and anxiety relief, made this journey an unforgettable one. The device not only helped him recover from his accident but also gave him the freedom to pursue his passion for cycling once again.
"Thank you, Prungo. I’m now a true believer in red light therapy!"

Leon’s story showcases the transformative power of the Prungo FluxGo device in improving both physical health and mental well-being. For Leon, what began as a simple trial for pain relief turned into a journey of rediscovery, where he found not only physical recovery but also a renewed sense of confidence in his future athletic pursuits.
