What to know if you’re researching Prungo — and how Kineon approaches joint pain differently
While both brands reference photobiomodulation (PBM), they are built on very different engineering choices, dosing philosophies, and levels of clinical alignment. This page explains those differences clearly, using publicly available information and established PBM research.
Although both brands use light-based technology, outcomes depend heavily on:
These details are often overlooked — but they matter.

Wavelength matters: 808 nm vs 850 nm
In photobiomodulation, not all near-infrared wavelengths behave the same inside the body.
Across decades of musculoskeletal research, including studies on knee osteoarthritis, cartilage repair, tendon healing, nerve regeneration, and post-surgical recovery, 808–810 nm is the most consistently used wavelength.
By contrast, 850 nm became widely used largely because it is cheaper and easier to source, with origins outside medical research.
This is because 808 nm:
is the wavelength most tightly linked to successful joint-pain outcomes in published PBM literature.
Kineon MOVE+ Pro uses true Class-1, 808 nm medical-grade laser diodes — the same class of technology used in foundational PBM and LLLT research.

Kineon provides explicit, protocol-level guidance:
Users and clinicians can approximate energy delivery (Joules) and map it directly to PBM literature ranges. This level of dosing transparency is rare in consumer devices and is especially important for arthritis and chronic joint pain.
Prungo devices typically reference usage modes such as: mild; mid; strong. However, publicly available materials do not disclose:
For users seeking evidence-aligned treatment, this makes meaningful comparison difficult.

The MOVE+ Pro uses targeted, medical-grade red and infrared light to support your knee’s natural healing process.
Unlike surface-level methods as wraps or LED panels, it works deep inside the joint, where inflammation, stiffness, and pain begin.
General pain remedies often don't reach the specific areas where you need it most.
The MOVE+ uses laser and LED technology for deeper tissue penetration and faster pain relief
Standard treatments may not address varying levels of pain.
Unlike bulky red light panels, MOVE+ allows full mobility during treatment, making it ideal for active users.
Many pain relief options come with unwanted side effects or discomfort.
Enjoy MOVE+ PRO's gentle, non-invasive light therapy, which is safe for regular, long-term use.
Pain can strike anytime, anywhere, making it hard to stay active.
MOVE+ PRO is compact and portable, letting you carry effective pain relief wherever you go.
Results are supported by over 6000 clinical papers.
The MOVE+ was developedwith over 15,000+ hours of research and testing by our team of experts.

Impressive technology. I legit only like to work with brands that put science first. Kineon's ability to harness the power of red light therapy into a laser is an amazing example of their unique innovation. Impressive pain relief on the spot!
Doctor of Physical Therapy & Crossfit Athlete
The MOVE+ is a phenomenal tool that allows me to train harder and recover faster. I've reduced pain and improved my mobility. I love that I can use it on the go and take it with me to training or use it in my practice. I've incorporated it into my daily routine and recommend it to patients.
CrossFit Fittest On Earth (35-39)
I've used $30-$60k class 4 lasers, $5000 Red Light panels and yet the Move+ is my preferred and most used product. The Move+ has completely replaced my need for Ibuprofen. I attribute a great deal of my ability to heal so rapidly from a full biceps rupture surgery to the Move+. In 6 months I went from surgery to being ranked the fittest 35-39 year old in the world.
Owner and founder of Resiliency Physical Therapy
Amazing product! As a Doctor of Physical Therapy I strive to find ways to help my patients relieve their pain as quickly as possible. Since find the Move + Pro I have been getting amazing results with reducing inflammation, pain reduction, improving recovery from strenuous workouts, and decreasing arthritic symptoms. This has truly been a game changer for my practice!

What’s your 30-day free trial policy?
If you’re not completely satisfied with the results after 30 days of continuous treatment, we will offer you a refund or further guidance.
All we ask is that you use the MOVE+ Pro 3-5 times per week for 5-15 minutes per day over 4 weeks. If there is still no improvement, we will provide you with a refund.
How long does a treatment take?
We recommend using the device for 5 - 15 minutes per day for optimal results, depending on the issue being treated.
Consistency is key with this. So doing a short treatment every day will be more effective than doing longer sessions more sporadically.
Can this help with knee pain?
The MOVE+ is specifically designed to help relieve knee pain, whether it’s caused by arthritis, injury, or overuse. Using clinically proven red and infrared light wavelengths, the MOVE+ targets inflammation deep within the joint, improves circulation, and supports the body’s natural healing processes. Many users report reduced pain, better mobility, and less stiffness within weeks of consistent use. Whether you’re dealing with chronic discomfort or recovering from strain, the MOVE+ offers a safe, non-invasive option to support long-term knee health.
Does MOVE+ work for arthritis/chronic conditions?
Red light therapy has been shown to significantly reduce pain and improve mobility in people with knee osteoarthritis. In a 2019 meta-analysis, they concluded that light therapy significantly reduces pain and disability in knee osteoarthritis patients when compared with placebo - even during follow-ups 1-12 weeks later.
The MOVE+ uses the same clinically validated wavelengths to target inflammation, support joint health, and provide long-lasting relief from chronic pain.
Is it safe? Are there side effects?
Red light therapy is non-invasive, drug-free, and considered very safe when used as directed. Most people experience no side effects at all. Unlike painkillers or invasive treatments, it works gently with your body to reduce inflammation and support healing, without causing harm or discomfort.
How does MOVE+ work?
The MOVE+ works by delivering powerful red and near-infrared light deep into your joints and tissues, where it stimulates cellular repair, reduces inflammation, and promotes blood flow. This light energy penetrates below the skin to reach the damaged or inflamed areas, encouraging your body’s natural healing processes at a cellular level. As a result, users often experience reduced pain, improved joint mobility, and faster recovery from injury or overuse.
Is this device backed by science?
The MOVE+ is built on decades of clinical research into red and near-infrared light therapy. These wavelengths have been scientifically shown to reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and support tissue repair. The technology behind MOVE+ is trusted by physical therapists, athletes, and healthcare professionals worldwide.
How is it different to other devices?
Unlike many red light devices that use low-power LEDs or treat only the skin’s surface, the MOVE+ delivers clinically effective wavelengths using laser diodes that penetrate deeper into joints and tissues. It’s also fully portable, adjustable, and designed specifically for targeted pain relief — no bulky panels or complicated setups. You get precise, medical-grade treatment at home, with none of the hassle.
How do you clean the MOVE+ Pro?
While cleaning the MOVE+ please consider using alcohol free anti-bacterial wipes. We recommend avoiding the use of abrasive liquids or alcohol containing products as this can damage the silicone coating of the modules
How long does it take to see results?
Most people start to feel relief within 1 to 3 weeks of consistent use, with some noticing improvements even sooner. For chronic or long-term conditions, results may continue to build over 4 to 6 weeks as inflammation decreases and tissue healing progresses. Like any therapy, consistency is key — using the MOVE+ daily delivers the best outcomes over time.
