Red light therapy, right here in Howell Township
Salem Hill sits in the sweet spot of Howell Township — quiet neighborhoods on one side, the Manasquan Reservoir and Allaire State Park on the other. Our NovoTHOR® studio is right on Route 9, which makes us less of a destination and more of a neighbor.
A neighborhood that lives outdoors
Ask anyone in Salem Hill what they love about it and the answer usually involves being outside. Walking, jogging and cycling are part of the rhythm here, thanks to the reservoir and Echo Lake Park practically at the doorstep. It is a family-friendly place with a genuine blend of suburban and rural character, and easy access to commuter routes like Interstate 195 for everyone heading out in the morning.
That active lifestyle is wonderful — and it adds up. Sore calves after the reservoir loop, stiff shoulders from yard work, knees that complain after a weekend of kids' sports. Salem Hill residents already have great options nearby, from Retro Fitness Howell to The Vitamin Shoppe on Route 9. Whole-body red light therapy adds a recovery step that most routines are missing.
In about fifteen minutes, the NovoTHOR® bed delivers red and near-infrared light across your entire body. Your mitochondria absorb it and produce more ATP — the energy your cells use to repair. There is no UV, no heat and no downtime. You get up and go on with your day.
Where Salem Hill spends its weekends
Four local places our neighbors love — and how a session helps you enjoy them a little longer.
Manasquan Reservoir
A major outdoor destination bordering Salem Hill, with extensive trails, wildlife watching and water activities.
Perfect after a long loop on the perimeter trail.
Echo Lake Park
A favorite local park for walking trails, fishing and scenic views - a true recreational hub for the neighborhood.
A gentle reset for legs and lower back.
Allaire State Park
Near the eastern edge of Salem Hill, with restored 19th-century ironworks and regular community events.
Recovery for full days on your feet.
Oak Glen Park
A neighborhood green space with playgrounds, sports fields and open areas for Salem Hill families.
For parents keeping up with weekend sports.
What your first visit is like
Honestly? It is easier than getting to the reservoir on a Saturday. You book a time, pull into Cherry Tree Plaza, and park right by the door. Come with clean skin — no heavy lotion or makeup, since that sits between you and the light — and wear whatever you are comfortable in. That is the whole checklist.
Then you lie down and the bed closes gently around you for about fifteen minutes. There is nothing to hold and nothing to figure out. It is not a tanning bed and there is no ultraviolet light involved at all, nor any real heat. Most neighbors tell us the hardest part is not falling asleep. When it is done, you get dressed and go — no grogginess, no downtime, nothing to plan around.
Here is the part we would rather say up front: this is a slow build, not a switch. One session feels nice. The changes people actually talk about — sleeping better, a back that stops complaining after yard work, knees that handle the Allaire trails again — usually show up after several visits, and they show up at different speeds for different bodies. We will always tell you that honestly rather than promise you a miracle.
What neighbors come in for
Faster muscle recovery
Runners, cyclists and weekend athletes use red light to reduce fatigue and soreness so the next trail day comes easier.
Everyday aches and stiffness
Red light is associated with reduced inflammation, which many people find eases chronic aches and joint discomfort over time.
Curious about the rest? Our benefits library covers sleep, skin, circulation, mood and more. Results build over time and differ from person to person — we are always happy to talk through what is realistic.
