Your wellness journey, one step at a time
Embracing wellness at the Jersey Shore — Parkway Manor residents discover the benefits of red light therapy close to home. Here is exactly what the path looks like, from curiosity to routine.
The five stages
- 01
Where you are today
Life in Parkway Manor moves. Rounds at Bey Lea Golf Course, trails at Winding River Park, errands at Ocean County Mall, weekends near the shore. Somewhere in that rhythm, stiffness creeps in, recovery slows, and sleep gets lighter than it used to be.
- 02
You look for something drug-free
Toms River already offers plenty — Jersey Strong, Planet Fitness, Yoga Essence, Nature's Nutrition, Community Medical Center. Parkway Manor residents invest in preventive care. What has been missing is professional, whole-body photobiomodulation.
- 03
Your first NovoTHOR session
You arrive at our Howell studio, park for free, and settle into the FDA-cleared NovoTHOR bed. Red light at 660nm and near-infrared at 850nm reach you head to toe. There are no needles, no UV and no downtime — you get up and go on with your day.
- 04
The first few weeks
This is where consistency matters. Your mitochondria absorb the light and may produce more ATP, the cellular energy that fuels repair. Most people build a rhythm of regular visits rather than chasing a single dramatic session.
- 05
It becomes part of the routine
Red light therapy stops being an experiment and becomes maintenance — the same way the gym or a good night's sleep does. Evidence-based support for an active Jersey Shore life. No cures promised, just a well-studied tool used well.

Before you set off
A few practical things worth knowing before step one, so nothing about the first visit is a surprise.
What to bring
Minimal clothing, since more exposed skin means more of the light reaches you. Arrive a few minutes early for a first visit so we can talk through your goals properly.
How the pacing works
This is a cumulative therapy. Benefits build across a series of sessions, which is exactly why we frame it as a journey rather than a one-off treatment.
How it fits your existing care
Red light therapy complements training, physical therapy and medical care — it does not replace any of them. Many Parkway Manor visitors run it alongside a plan they already have.
When to check with your doctor first
If you are pregnant, taking photosensitizing medication, being treated for cancer, or have had recent steroid injections in an area you want treated, speak with your physician before booking.
