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 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.

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.

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.

Human touch provides warranty coverage of three years for parts on the HT 1650. You also get 90 days of in-home technician service. The warranty coverage of this massage recliner is fairly comprehensive.

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.
