At the age of 60, Richard Cascioli is no stranger to the toll that years of physical activity can take on the body. A dedicated combat athlete and strength training enthusiast, he has also spent his entire career working in the building industry, often pushing his body to its limits. Over the years, this lifestyle left him struggling with chronic shoulder and elbow pain from wear and tear. Despite trying various treatments, from physical therapy and acupuncture to stem cell therapy, Richard was still searching for a long-term solution.

Week 1: Initial Impressions

By week one, Richard had begun using the PRUNGO red light therapy device as part of his recovery plan. He immediately noticed some relief when he took a break from his rigorous training schedule, although continuing to train seemed to aggravate his injuries. The device was simple to use, but Richard did mention one small inconvenience:

“I can use it for two to three treatments before the battery needs to be recharged.”

Despite this minor issue, Richard appreciated the device’s ease of use and was optimistic about its potential. He knew that recovery from injuries like his required patience and rest.

Week 2: Feeling the Difference

Two weeks into his recovery, Richard felt a noticeable difference in his pain levels and inflammation. He continued using the device nightly, though he admitted that the relief was most apparent when he wasn’t training.

“When I train, it still hurts, but I’ve been going lighter with the weights and more reps to avoid stressing the injury.”

Richard’s decision to adjust his training routine was a step toward a more sustainable recovery, and he found himself incorporating the therapy into his daily life with ease.

Week 3: Slow but Steady Progress

By week three, Richard was focusing on his right shoulder, the most irritated of his injuries. He had been using the device consistently, and although the progress was slow, he remained hopeful.

“It’s been mainly about using the device on my right shoulder for now. I’m hoping this will help me recover and eventually become pain-free.”

Richard understood that healing would be a gradual process, but he was committed to seeing it through, one step at a time.

Week 4: Convenience and Consistency

Richard’s use of the PRUNGO device became part of his nighttime routine. He found it convenient to use while winding down, often dozing off as the device completed its treatment cycle.

“I personally like to use it at night when I go to bed, I set it up and doze off. When the cycle is completed, I switch it to another area that I need treatment with and fall back to sleep.”

This simple and effective approach allowed Richard to incorporate therapy without disrupting his busy schedule, making it a seamless part of his healing journey.

Week 5: Treating Multiple Areas

In the fifth week, Richard expanded his use of the device, targeting more areas affected by chronic pain. The device’s versatility allowed him to treat his elbow, forearms, shoulders, knees, and even his ribs, which had been injured during a previous training session.

“I’ve been using it on my elbow/forearms, shoulders, knees, and ribs, which were separated due to a knee thrown into my rib cage.”

The device’s ability to treat multiple areas at once helped Richard feel more confident that he was taking care of his body as a whole.

Week 6: Seeing Gradual Improvements

By week six, Richard’s experience with PRUNGO had been transformative. He noticed a significant improvement in both the comfort and functionality of his shoulder and elbow.

“I started noticing gradual but meaningful improvements… The warming, soothing sensation during sessions helped my muscles and joints feel more relaxed.”

Richard felt that the device contributed significantly to improved circulation, reduced inflammation, and smoother recovery after physical activity. His once stiff joints felt more mobile, and the pain he’d endured for years started to subside. The key takeaway for Richard was the importance of consistent use.

“Rather than an instant fix, the PRUNGO red light therapy device became a supportive tool in my recovery routine.”

Week 7: Complementing Therapy with a Holistic Approach

By week seven, Richard was fully integrated into a recovery routine that balanced red light therapy, rest, and icing. The combination of treatments seemed to enhance the effectiveness of each.

“I pair my Prungo sessions with proper rest and regular icing, which together have helped me manage discomfort and support recovery.”

This holistic approach reinforced Richard’s belief that recovery is most effective when multiple methods are used in tandem.

Week 8: A Full Recovery Journey

After eight weeks of consistent use, Richard saw a dramatic decrease in discomfort and faster recovery times. His overall experience with the PRUNGO red light therapy device was highly positive, and he felt more confident in his ability to manage his tendinitis moving forward.

“Over this period, discomfort has decreased and my overall recovery time feels faster and more consistent.”

For Richard, the PRUNGO device became an indispensable tool in his recovery, offering relief and supporting his body’s natural healing processes.

Conclusion: A Tool for Lasting Recovery

Richard's journey with PRUNGO red light therapy showcases the device's potential to support long-term recovery, particularly for individuals with chronic injuries or wear-and-tear from years of physical activity. Through consistent use, the device provided Richard with meaningful relief, gradually improving his mobility and comfort. With the PRUNGO device as part of his routine, Richard now feels more confident in his ability to recover and maintain a healthier, more active lifestyle.
