Six steps from sore to restored
Coastal vitality is a way of life here — boardwalk mornings, ocean afternoons, and an active outdoor culture that keeps going year round. This is what the red light therapy journey looks like, from the first thought to a lasting routine.
The journey, step by step
- 01
Decide it is time
Maybe it is stiffness after a boardwalk run, soreness that lingers after a surf session, or simply wanting more energy. Whatever brings you here, the first step is choosing to do something about it.
- 02
Book your session
Reserve a whole-body NovoTHOR® appointment online in under a minute, or call and we will find a time that fits around work, family, and the shore schedule.
- 03
Make the short drive
Head to Cherry Tree Plaza on Route 9 in Howell. Free on-site parking means no circling — you walk straight in.
- 04
Step into the light
You lie in the NovoTHOR® pod while 660nm red and 850nm near-infrared light surround your whole body. Your mitochondria absorb those wavelengths, supporting ATP production, calming inflammation, and encouraging natural repair. No needles, no UV, no downtime.
- 05
Get back to the shore
Walk out warm and relaxed and head straight back to what you love — the north stretch of the boardwalk, the quieter sand at North End Beach, a slow lap around Takanassee Lake.
- 06
Build the habit
Red light therapy is evidence-based wellness support, not a cure or a guarantee. Benefits accumulate with consistency, so the real progress shows up over a series of sessions.
Milestones along the way
Where consistent sessions tend to make the biggest difference for an active shore lifestyle.
Before you set out
A few practical things worth knowing before step one. There is no complicated preparation: wear or bring comfortable clothing, since the more skin the light can reach, the more it has to work with, and arrive a few minutes early on your first visit so we can walk you through the technology properly.
The NovoTHOR® is FDA-cleared and non-invasive — no needles, no UV rays, no medications — and every session is run by trained staff. Red light therapy is evidence-based wellness support rather than a cure or a guarantee, and the meaningful progress shows up across a series of sessions rather than after a single visit. If you are pregnant, taking photosensitizing medication, or being treated for an active medical condition, speak with your physician and call us before you book.
Minutes, not hours
A whole-body session takes only a few unhurried minutes.
Free parking
On-site at Cherry Tree Plaza, right on Route 9.
No downtime
Head straight back to the boardwalk or the rest of your day.
Why it fits North Long Branch
This is a community that trains outdoors. The boardwalk, parks, and beaches host running, yoga, and group exercise year round, supported by local gyms like Jersey Strong and fitness studios across the greater Long Branch area. Independent health food stores and juice bars along Ocean Boulevard round out a genuinely holistic wellness scene, with Monmouth Medical Center close by.
Red light therapy slots neatly into that routine — a recovery tool for people already committed to active, healthy living.
Landmarks of the north end
- Seven Presidents Oceanfront Park — a beachfront park for swimming, surfing, and scenic views.
- Long Branch Boardwalk, north section — ideal for walking, jogging, and ocean air.
- Takanassee Lake — a tranquil lake and green space for birdwatching and relaxation.
- North End Beach — a quieter stretch favored by locals.
