The Human Touch HT 1650 Massage Chair

By Steve Gibbs

Human Touch provides a full line of massage chairs. The HT 1650 is the high-end luxury massage recliner by Human Touch. This massage recliner is somewhat unique in that it looks more like a classic recliner. However, underneath this traditional exterior comes a range of massage capabilities. We'll take a look at some of the features included in the HT 1650.

An important technology integrated into the human touch HT 1650 is the body scan. The body scan will locate the acupoints for your back, neck and shoulders. This information is then used to identify the acupoints to provide an acupressure type massage.

To perform the body scan, the remote control is used in switch into manual mode. The scan function can then be activated. It will make a path up and down your back to identify your unique act you pressure points. This information is then used to provide a custom massage based on your body readings.

The acupoint detection system is used in conjunction with certain massage techniques such as shiatsu. Unlike other massage chairs, you must set the scan manually. You must manually set your shoulder height in order to perform an accurate scan of your back.

The HT 1650 comes with eight automatic massage programs. These are full body massage programs. They range from sports therapy to light stretching and warm-up massages. Each of these automatic programs are designed for a specific purpose.

Human touch has also equipped the HT 1650 with four manual massage functions. These manual massage functions perform kneading, compression, rolling and percussion. Select the type of massage based on your needs. Kneading is great for listening up of muscles.

Manual massage courses focus on specific areas of the back and neck. You can select the area that you would like to target. It also includes pinpointing so you can focus the massage on one specific point on your back or neck.

In order to make the HT 1650 look like a traditional recliner, the calf massager needed to be hidden. Human touch has an innovative flip design for the calf massager. One side of the massager is flat. The other side of the massager contains leg wells. The cats can be inserted into the leg Wells when a massage for them is desired.

When you do not want to use the calf massager, you can flip it over to its flat side. This enables you to hide the calf massager when not in use. This adds to the aesthetic appeal of the HT 1650 massage recliner.

The HT 1650 also comes with a remote control. This remote control has buttons on two faces of the remote. This enables the remote to be much thinner than other traditional controls. The remote is hardwired to the chair and has a pocket for storage.

The HT 1650 has a variety of massage techniques. It is different from most massage chairs in that it looks more like a traditional recliner. Personally, I find that the massage is a bit light for my taste. I prefer one that is a bit stronger and soothing for tight muscles.

The HT 1650 massage chair comes with three years warranty on the parts. Human touch also provides you with 90 days of in-home technician service. This means that if you had a problem, a service technician would be dispatched to your home to conduct the repair. This is important as massage chairs typically weigh over 150 pounds.

The HT 1650 massage chair certainly breaks the mold of the typical massage chair look. This is the first massage chair recent memory that looks like a traditional recliner. This massage chair certainly has an interesting design. If you are looking for a massage recliner with strong massage therapy, then this one may not meet your needs. Make sure that this massage chair will meet your long term therapeutic requirements. The HT 1650 massage chair is one of the more traditional looking massage chairs on the market today.

  1. I saw those chairs and I also read that it weighs 150 pounds, does it mean that I will not be able to bring that chair anywhere?!

    I already bought a portable massage chair before that one can be brought anywhere. I want the features of your chair so I want to know if I can bring it anywhere or not.
