Middletown NJ Red Light Therapy in Howell

Red light therapy for Middletown, NJ

Middletown to Howell is a real drive, not a hop. Here is what the trip is like and what one NovoTHOR whole-body session involves.

The way there

Route 9 north, Route 18 north, Route 35 north

This is a real drive rather than an errand — Route 35 down to Route 18 and across to Route 9 — and the Middletown third of it is traffic-light country the whole way.

We are not going to pretend this one is quick. It is among the longest trips anyone regularly makes to us, and it works through three different roads before it is done.

Where in the township you start

Middletown covers more than forty square miles and its sections have remarkably little to do with one another. From Lincroft, where Brookdale sits, you are on the short end of this and the drive is manageable. From Belford, Port Monmouth or the Navesink side, you have crossed most of the township before you reach the part of the route that counts. Deep Cut Gardens and Poricy Park are closer to each other than either is to the bayshore, and the train station on Route 35 is a different world again from the west end of town.

What is at the other end

One room with one NovoTHOR bed in it, booked to one person at a time. The session is short and there is nothing to recover from, so the driving is genuinely the demanding part. Given that, we would rather you came once and formed your own view than committed to anything in advance.

Neighborhoods and areas within Middletown

Lincroft

Lincroft is a census-designated place in the southwest corner of Middletown Township, bordered on the west by Holmdel, with 7,060 residents at the 2020 census. Brookdale Community College took over the Brookdale Farm property here and opened to students in 1969; its campus now covers 220 acres.

Red Hill

Tatum Park, 366 acres of woods and fields with more than six miles of trails, has its main entrance and activity center on Red Hill Road. Charles Tatum bought the estate in 1905 and his family gave the first 73 acres to the county in 1973. Deep Cut Gardens sits across the road.

Questions from Middletown

Is Middletown too far to make a habit of this?

For some people, honestly, yes. At this distance most people come when it is worth the trip rather than on a weekly schedule, and that is a perfectly sensible way to use it.

Which part of Middletown is closest?

The Lincroft end and anything on the Holmdel side of the township. From Belford, Port Monmouth or the Navesink side you are crossing the whole of Middletown before the drive has properly begun.

When should I leave?

Mid-morning. Route 35 through the township and the roads feeding off Route 36 are commuter arteries, and both ends of the day run heavy in whichever direction you happen to be going.

Can I combine the trip with something else?

Most people do, and we would encourage it — Freehold, the mall, an appointment already on Route 9. At this distance folding it into a trip you were making anyway is the sensible approach.
