Old-town charm, new-era recovery
Between the boardwalk and the Toms River, Island Heights moves at the speed of a riverside stroll. When the body needs more than a walk to reset, FDA-cleared NovoTHOR red light therapy is waiting a short drive away in Howell.

Whole-body photobiomodulation works by delivering light to the mitochondria in your cells, supporting the energy your body uses to repair, calm inflammation, and rebuild.
Easier joints for an active town
Cycling the shore roads, kayaking off Wanamassa Dock, walking the Central Avenue Historic District — it adds up.
Red and near-infrared light has been studied for its ability to ease inflammation in and around the joints, which is why so many active residents fold it into their week. It is a gentle, drug-free complement to the outdoor life Island Heights is known for.
Explore joint healthEvening exposure to red light may help regulate your circadian rhythm and support natural melatonin, which many people find translates into deeper, steadier sleep. Better rest is quiet fuel for everything else.
Explore better sleepRest that keeps its rhythm
A close-knit, family-friendly borough deserves nights as restful as its mornings on the river.
Circulation & a brighter mood
The same light that supports blood flow is also studied for its lift to energy and mood.
By encouraging vasodilation and healthy circulation, red light therapy helps oxygen reach the tissues that need it. Improved mitochondrial function has also been linked to better energy and mood — a welcome bonus in a town that already values its arts and community life.
What to expect
Simple by design
A first visit asks almost nothing of you. There is no preparation beforehand and no recovery afterward. You arrive at our Howell studio, settle into the NovoTHOR bed, and let red and near-infrared light do the work for about fifteen minutes. Most people describe a comfortable warmth and a rare few quiet minutes to themselves.
When the session ends, you simply get up and go — back to the boardwalk, the studio, or a walk along the river. It is drug-free, non-invasive, and easy to fold into an already full week.
Why the whole body matters
Many red light devices are small panels aimed at one area. The NovoTHOR is a full-body bed, so every major muscle group and joint is treated evenly in a single session. For an active, arts-and-outdoors community like Island Heights, that head-to-toe coverage means you are never choosing which ache to treat — you address them all at once.
Red light therapy is a complementary wellness service. It is not a cure, it does not replace your physician’s care, and individual results vary.
