The way there

Route 9 south, Route 571 west

Route 571 is two lanes through pine woods for most of its length, with no highway merge anywhere in it, which is why people who dislike driving tend to prefer it.

The run along Route 571 is one of the easier drives anybody makes to us — two lanes, pine on both sides, no merging onto anything. That matters more than it sounds like it should, because a good number of the people who come here from Whiting, Crestwood Village, Leisure Village West and Pine Lake Park are not looking for an adventure on the way. They want to park, lie down, and get home.

What the bed is for

Temporary relief of minor muscle and joint pain, minor arthritis pain and muscle spasm, and increasing local blood circulation. That is the FDA clearance the NovoTHOR holds, and it is the whole of what we will claim for it. If somebody tells you a light bed treats a disease, walk away from them.

How often, and for how long

Fifteen to twenty minutes on your back per session. Some people book twice a week for a while and then taper off; others come when a shoulder starts complaining and not otherwise. Both are fine, and there is no package to buy through. The one thing we would ask is that you tell us honestly if a few weeks have gone by and nothing has shifted, because at that point the drive is not worth your morning.

Questions from Manchester

What is the best way out of Whiting and Crestwood Village?

Route 530 east through Lakehurst to Route 70, then up Route 9. The alternative is Route 539 north and cutting east on Route 571. Both are flat two-lane roads with no highway merging in them.

When is Route 70 near Lakewood at its worst?

Between four and six, and it is genuinely bad. The late-morning appointments on Monday, Wednesday and Friday give you the calmest run of the week in each direction.

Can someone drive me and wait during the session?

Yes. There is seating out front and free parking a few feet from the door, so a spouse or a neighbor does not have to sit in the car or move it.

Does the bed get hot, or is it uncomfortable to lie in?

Neither. It is light rather than heat, and most people compare it to lying under a warm lamp. You are on your back the whole time and you can stop the session whenever you want.

How many steps are there from the parking spot to the bed?

Almost none. The lot is level with the entrance, there is no stairwell and no second floor, and the room is off the front of the studio.
