How is the Human Touch HT-125 shiatsu massage chair? Let us start with the design and aesthetics.

Human Touch does an excellent job with putting this chair on a large round base, which gives it a striking design. The Human Touch HT-125 is a comfortable massage chair and comes in a wide assortment of colors.
The massage therapy provided by the Human Touch HT-125 massage chair recliner includes: partial roll, full roll, kneading, compression, percussion and kneading percussion. The patented HT Technology is also included in the HT 125 for a realistic feeling massage. Human Touch studied the techniques used by professional massage therapists and replicated these movements with their HT techology. Choose from 3 automatic programs in the HT-125 and 6 manual massages in this shiatsu massage chair.
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.
