The human touch company makes a broad range of massage chairs. One of their high-end models is the HT 1650. Unlike most massage chairs, the HT 1650 looks more like a traditional recliner. It is quite a large chair and provides full body massage capability. We peel back the layers of the HT 1650 to reveal some of its more important features.

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.

The HT 1650 will perform a scan when it is in the manual mode. A remote control comes with the HT 1650 where different functions are located. Once the body scan is activated, then it will send the rollers up menu down your back. Sensors are mounted on the rollers to identify your acupoints.

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.

There are 8 programmed massages in the HT 1650. All of these massage programs provide a whole body massage. There are some specialized programs such as sports therapy and other more general like warming up. Each massage is designed to perform a different therapeutic treatment.

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.

Also in the manual mode, you may select to target the massage in a particular region. There are a number of different regions available and you may also target a specific point. This helps you to better control exactly where you want the massage applied.

An interesting feature integrated into the HT 1650 is its unique leg rest. The leg rest is flat on one side. However, when you flip it over, it has spaces to fit your legs and. These leg Wells are used to deliver a compression massage to the calves.

The nice thing about the flipping ottoman designed by human touch is that you can flip it when not in use. The leg rest hides very nicely underneath with this design. This enables you to better match the type of back or in your house.

The HT 1650 works from a hardwired remote control. The remote control has two faces with function buttons. By utilizing two faces, the remote was slammed down. There is also a pocket of material which holds the remote when not in use.

One of the areas of concern for me with this HT 1650 massage chair is the strength of the massage. Although there are many different techniques, many of them are to light to be effective for my taste. This can be a problem down the road. You want to make sure that any massage chair you purchasable provide a strong enough massage for the years to come.

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 design of the HT 1650 is headed in the right direction. It is one of the few massage recliners which does not look like a typical massage chair. The main drawback on the aesthetics is that the chair looks very large. It is fairly comfortable to sit in and can compliment most rooms. If you are looking for a high-end massage recliner, then check this one out but make sure that it will meet your long term therapeutic needs.
