- The way there
- Route 524 east, Route 34 south, Route 71 south
Route 71 up to Route 34 and then Route 524 west through Wall, twenty minutes of two-lane road that only really hesitates where 524 crosses Route 34.
The Manasquan Reservoir is not in Manasquan. It sits in Howell, a few minutes from our door, and it is named for the river rather than for the borough at the river’s mouth. That gap between the name and the place is a decent way to describe the whole trip: twenty minutes on Route 524 and Route 34 gets you from a beach town of about a square mile to a strip plaza on Route 9, and the two ends have almost nothing in common.
Summer changes this drive less than it changes Belmar or Point Pleasant Beach, because 524 west is not a road anyone takes to a boardwalk. At the far end: one NovoTHOR whole-body bed, twenty minutes, cleared for minor muscle and joint pain, muscle spasm and local circulation. Which is the useful part if you have spent a morning on the inlet jetty and your shoulders have started keeping score.

Questions from Manasquan
- Are you anywhere near the Manasquan Reservoir?
- A few minutes from it. The reservoir is in Howell, not in Manasquan, and its Windeler Road entrance is a short run up Route 9 from us. People fold the two into one trip fairly often.
- Does summer make the drive from Manasquan worse?
- Less than you would think. Route 524 and Route 34 carry some beach traffic but nothing like Route 35 through Point Pleasant Beach. Add five or ten minutes on a July weekend and you will be about right.
- Can I come straight from the beach?
- Rinse off first. Sunscreen, salt and sand all sit on the skin, and the light works on the skin it actually reaches. A quick shower before you drive up makes the session worth more.
- How many sessions before I notice anything?
- It varies and we are not going to give you a number. Some people feel looser the same evening, others notice nothing until they have been in three or four times. If you have had several and nothing has shifted, it is fair to stop.
