Experience the wellness-forward spirit of Stonehurst East, New Jersey—where residents embrace innovative therapies like red light therapy for a vibrant, active lifestyle. Here is what neighbors ask us most, before anything else.
Frequently asked questions
What is red light therapy, in plain terms?
It is exposure to specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light. The research interest is cellular: light in these ranges is absorbed inside cells, where it appears to support the energy production that tissues rely on. The clinical name for it is photobiomodulation.
What makes the NovoTHOR different from a panel or a handheld device?
The NovoTHOR is a whole-body bed rather than a device you point at one spot. You lie down and light reaches you head to toe in a single session. It is FDA-cleared, and it is operated by staff rather than self-administered.
What does a session actually feel like?
You lie in the bed with the panels above and below you. Nothing touches your skin, there are no needles or incisions, and the warmth is mild rather than something you have to endure. Most people describe it as unremarkable in the moment — which is the point.
Is there any downtime afterward?
No. It is non-invasive, so there is no recovery period. Guests routinely go straight from a session back to work, to the gym, or to errands at the Stonehurst Shopping Center.
What is red light therapy studied for?
The largest bodies of research look at pain and inflammation, muscle recovery after exercise, joint comfort and mobility, skin quality and collagen, and sleep. Each of those has a dedicated page in our benefits library with more detail.
Will it cure my condition?
No, and anyone who tells you otherwise is overselling. Red light therapy is an actively researched wellness technology with encouraging findings. It is not a cure, it makes no guarantees, and it does not replace care from your own physician. Bring it to your doctor as part of a broader plan, not instead of one.
How often should I come?
Photobiomodulation research generally examines repeated sessions rather than one-offs. Most people start more frequently while working toward something specific, then settle into a lighter maintenance rhythm. Staff will talk through a cadence that matches your goal.
