Massage Chair Review: Human Touch HT1650 shiatsu massage chair
The HT 1650 model manufactured by the human touch company is a massage chair which looks like a traditional recliner. In addition to raising the foot rest and lowering the chair back, the HT 1650 also has a number of massage functions. The HT 1650 has some unique features to enable it to look like a traditional recliner.
One of the technologies that are integrated into the human touch chair is the detection of acupoints. This technology makes a scan of the back and will identify each individual’s acupoints. There are more than 100 different points on the back, neck and shoulders.
This massage recliner will perform a full scan of your back and determine your specific acupoints. There are known to be over 100 acupoints in the neck, shoulders and back. Your body has a total of over 350 acupoints. As the scan is performed, the chairs computer will note where your specific acupoints are located.
The HT 1650 uses the acupoint detection system for acupressure massages such as shiatsu. These massage is stimulate the acupoints. These can be activated using the manual controls. You also must set your shoulder height manually each time you use the chair.
Contained in the human touch HT 1650, there are many interesting massage programs like sports therapy and there are lighter massages such as warm up or light stretching. You may select the one which best suits your needs at any given time.
There are also four manual massage functions included in this massage recliner. The four manual massage functions are compression, rolling, percussion and kneading. You may select these manual programs in use them in conjunction with manual massage courses.
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.
One of the nice features of the HT 1650 is that it comes with a hidden calf massager. The calf massager has leg wells to fit your legs inside. This provides for a soothing compression massage. The compression massage utilizes a squeezing and holding technique.
There leg rest adds greatly to the aesthetic appeal of the HT 1650. Most massage chairs have these large leg wells on the front. It is a nice design to be able to flip the leg well when it is not in use. This is a massage chair well heating and a 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.
We liked the bold design of the HT 1650 massage chair by human touch. It is nice to see that many of the massage technologies can be successfully hidden and to a traditional looking recliner. The main concern that we have with the HT 1650 massage chair is the strength of its massage therapy. It has a number of different programs, but most are fairly weak from our therapeutic point of view. However, there are many solid features and the HT 1650 massage chair.
