Red light therapy for Oak Glen, answered
Oak Glen residents love the outdoors — the trails, the green space, the easy access to Route 9. Before you book a whole-body NovoTHOR® session, here are the questions we get asked most.
Common questions
What is red light therapy, exactly?
Red light therapy — also called photobiomodulation — uses specific wavelengths of light to support the body at a cellular level. Our whole-body NovoTHOR® bed delivers 660nm red light and 850nm near-infrared light. These are absorbed by the mitochondria in your cells, supporting ATP (cellular energy) production, helping to calm inflammation, and encouraging natural repair.
Is it safe, and is the device FDA-cleared?
Yes. NovoTHOR® is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive device. There are no needles, no UV rays, and no medications involved. Sessions are run by trained staff, and most people simply feel comfortably warm and relaxed throughout.
How close is your studio to Oak Glen?
Very close. Oak Glen sits within Howell Township, and our studio is right here in Howell at Cherry Tree Plaza on Route 9 — the same corridor Oak Glen residents already use for shops, eateries, health food stores, and medical offices. Free on-site parking is available.
What can red light therapy help with?
People come in for a range of goals: easing everyday aches and inflammation, recovering faster after exercise, supporting joint comfort and mobility, improving skin tone and texture, and encouraging deeper sleep. It is evidence-based wellness support — not a cure and not a guarantee — and results build with consistent sessions.
What is a session actually like?
You lie down in the NovoTHOR® pod and the light does the rest. It takes only a few unhurried minutes, there is no recovery time afterward, and you can head straight back out — including for a walk on the Oak Glen Park Connector Trail.
Do I need to prepare anything, or can I just book?
Just book. Wear or bring comfortable clothing, arrive a few minutes early for your first visit, and our team will walk you through what to expect. If you have questions or a specific health condition you would like to discuss first, give us a call before booking.
How often should I come in to see a difference?
Consistency matters more than any single visit. Photobiomodulation is cumulative, so the people who notice the most treat it as an ongoing routine rather than a one-time experiment — much like they already treat a regular walk on the connector trail or a standing gym session. We are happy to talk through a cadence that fits your goals and your schedule when you come in.
Is there anyone who should check with a doctor first?
Yes. As a sensible precaution, speak with your physician before booking if you are pregnant, taking photosensitizing medication, or being treated for an active medical condition. Red light therapy is evidence-based wellness support rather than a cure or a guarantee of any specific outcome, and we would always rather you start with the full picture.

Oak Glen is part of Howell Township’s wellness scene, and outdoor fitness is at the center of it.
