- The way there
- Route 33 east
Straight out on Route 33 past the hospital and the Wall industrial stretch — an unglamorous drive whose one virtue is that it is a single road the entire way.
Nobody drives inland from the shore for the scenery, so we will be straight about it: Route 33 west is a dull road, it is the only road you need, and at the end of it there is a parking space outside the door instead of a circuit of Cookman Avenue looking for one.
What is here is a single NovoTHOR bed in a single room. You lie in it for fifteen to twenty minutes while red and near-infrared light runs over you. Its FDA clearance is for temporary relief of minor muscle and joint pain and muscle spasm, plus increased local circulation, and that is the extent of what anyone should be telling you about it. The people who come from this city tend to be younger than our average — bartenders and cooks off their feet at two in the morning, people who train, people who walk the boardwalk from Convention Hall to Wesley Lake and back rather more often than their knees would prefer. Book it, come, lie down, leave. The first visit takes about forty-five minutes; every one after that is twenty-odd minutes in the building.
Questions from Asbury Park
- Could I do this on a lunch break from Cookman Avenue?
- It is tight, but people manage it. Twenty-odd minutes each way plus fifteen to twenty on the bed puts the whole thing at about an hour and a quarter.
- Is there a train or bus, or do I need to drive?
- You need a car. The North Jersey Coast Line runs north and south along the shore, and we are inland on Route 9 with no useful rail or bus connection to us.
- Do you do late appointments?
- Tuesday and Thursday we are here until six. The rest of the week we close at half past five, and Saturday is by arrangement rather than fixed hours.
- Should I book before or after a workout?
- Either works. Most people come afterwards, on the same day as a hard session; some prefer the morning after. There is no rule about it and the timing is not going to ruin anything.
