The feature of this review is the Human Touch HT-125 shiatsu massage chair. Human Touch technology provides a realistic massage feeling. The Human Touch HT-125 massage chair is a low range model in the $1,000 to $2,500 price range.

Human Touch is a giant in the field of massage chairs and has over 30 models at almost every price point. Human Touch has built up an array of distribution channels for their massage chairs and can be found all across the country. Human Touch has been an innovator in this industry and has some patents covering technology they have developed. One of the more famous patents is the flipping ottoman.

The standard manufacturer's covers 3 years structure, 1 year parts, 90 days labor. In home service is available for $225 for the first hour and $150 each additional hour. Human Touch provides below average warranty protection for the customer. An extended warranty can be purchased at an additional fee. Human Touch makes good chairs, but their warranty needs to be beefed up to better protect the customer.

To be perfectly honest, most massage chairs are unattractive. On the other hand, Human Touch has a striking design with the HT 125 massage chair. This executive looking chair is perched on its oblong base. The contemporary design enhances any room and with the flipping ottoman the HT 125 does not look like a massage chair!

The Human Touch HT-125 massage chair has the following manual massages: partial roll, full roll, kneading, compression, percussion and kneading+percussion. Human Touch incorporates the latest version of robotic massage which is patterned after the same techniques used by professional massage therapists. There are 3 automatic programs in the HT-125. Overall, this massage chair recliner does a solid, thorough job on the back to loosen tight muscles and ease aches and pains.

Use the leg rest of the HT-125 to massage your calves or feet. Flip the ottoman to expose the calf massager. Place your calves in and let it massage the calves. If you want to massage your feet, raise the footrest horizontally, bend your knees and place your feet in the leg rest. There is also a gentle stretch function built into the leg rest. Human Touch also includes a shoulder height adjustment in the HT-125 massage chair. Users can select from 3 shoulder positions for tall, medium, or short. For maximum comfort the rollers can be used in pinpoint mode to work specific spots on your back.

The HT 125 is an attractive executive style massage chair by Human Touch. The HT 125 is stylish, contemporary and does not look like a typical massage chair. The flipping ottoman is a great feature to hide the calf massager. The massage functions work well and the chair has the HT technology which imitates a master masseuse. The warranty is a little lacking directly from the factory, so the extended warranty is recommended for adequate protection, but of course, this adds to the cost of the massage chair. If you are looking for a solid, all around shiatsu massage chair, you will be happy with the Human Touch HT-125.
