Review Of HT-1650 Massage Chair By Interactive Health

The HT-1650 massage chair is the newest and, in my opinion, the nicest and most luxurious massage recliner that Interactive Health has yet manufactured. With the HT-1650 massage chair, Interactive Health has blended beauty with technology. This is truly the ?His & Hers? in one, to end all compromising. Many different preferences can all agree on the value and quality of this chair. No other chair appears as sophisticated and diverse to fit into any home, with any style of d?cor. From elegance to modest taste, this chair pleases every setting.

With its luxurious premium leather, the quality of the fabric alone makes this chair one that you can melt away in. You can get cozy in it?s top-grain, double stitched, Aniline dyed leather, and make yourself at home resting comfortably as the memory foam cushion softens, making it irresistibly tempting to spend your entire weekend lounging deep in relaxation.

But if that isn?t reason enough to drool over this chair, brace yourself for all the benefits that lay inside, as your personal in-house masseuse.

This chair boasts of triple motors, with quad rollers that can be enhanced with air technology to customize the level of intensity to your personal preference and tolerance. So you get the best of both worlds of air and rollers. Step it up a notch in your relaxation by turning on the infrared heat in your low back. Unlike regular heat coils that can become too hot and uncomfortable after only a few minutes, the infrared heating unit works with your body?s inner temperature, delivering a natural heat that you can enjoy through the entire massage session. So you can maximize your massage therapy by adding heat therapy, and kiss those sore muscles goodbye!

Rollers in the calves and feet work the acupressure points and stress triggers that contribute to fatigued legs and feet, and will help improve circulation working out all of that tension, bringing back energy and rejuvenation.

Not only are your back, neck, shoulders, calves and feet taken care of, but your buttocks and thighs will be pampered as well.

This personal masseuse of yours will come with many choices to tailor- such as percussion, kneading, compression, stretching, traction, and rolling, the combinations are practically endless. You can even get rid of tension in your arms after a long day at work with the armrest vibration. You truly won?t want to move a muscle. So what more could you ask for from such a progressive design? How about voice activation so that you literally won?t have to move any muscle!

With 8 pre-set programs ranging from 1:Sore Muscle Relief, 2: Sports & Back therapy, 3: Leg/Foot/Hip Therapy, 4: Neck/shoulder relief, 5: After work stretch, 6: Morning energize, 7: Night time soothing, and 8: Auto Demo ? it?s almost unnecessary to want any more from this chair, but you still have customizable preferences to personalize your sessions.

And with its unique on-board outlet on the back of the armrest, you can plug in your laptop, and can practically consider never having to move an inch again...that is, until you want to get up and enjoy your improved energy and overall physical health.

This chair reclines to a 170 degree angle to really traction out and stretch away the tension that compresses down on our spine all day long. Or you can just kick up the ottoman and enjoy the comfort of the chair overall while you watch some T.V. The only negative comment I?ve ever heard brought up about this massage chair, besides the price tag, is the fact that the ottoman doesn?t incline to 180 degrees. It rises to just a few degrees shy of horizontal. So, if you are banished from the bedroom and onto the massage chair for a night?s sleep, and you want to be completely horizontal, you might have a complaint. Other than that, this massage chair is everything it claims to be.

Interactive health uses unique technology for the back massage track, which is designed to promote the proper posture for your back, deserving it?s endorsement from the American College of Chiropractics and Orthopedics, as well as the American Chiropractic Association. Of course, Interactive Health?s standard 1/3 year warranty applies.

You really do get a fantastic bang for your buck; in my opinion, other manufacturer?s chairs in this same price range can?t compete on luxury and features.

Top 5 Things You Must Remember Before Purchasing Your Massage Chair

I?m going to take a guess and say that if you reading this you are probably in pain right now. Whether it is neck pain, back pain, or shoulder pain, pain is pain. However before you decide to go out and make your purchase of a new massage chair, make sure your pain isn?t clouding your judgment. Read on to find out what you absolutely must remember when purchasing your massage chair.

1. Features

The old massage chairs models only provided vibration. If you are purchasing a chair today make sure it offers the following:

Kneading or "shiatsu"- Kneading rolls from the spine outward. It feels like two hands alternately rubbing your back. It has the feel of a genuine hand massage.

Percussion/Tapping - Looks like a client's back is being "karate chopped". This technique stimulates blood flow and helps muscle stiffness.

Rolling- This is where wheels roll up and down either side of your spine. This does 2 things 1.) it gently moves the spinal bones and 2.) stretches the spine and its muscles.

Foot and calf massager ? Quite a few of the new chairs have an attached ottoman that has a calf and foot massage feature. This is a vital feature, especially for people who are on their feet all day long.

Full recliner - the greater the reclining angle of the chair, the more the weight of your body can make the massage deeper. If you really want the rollers and kneaders to give you a deep-tissue massage, then the further back you need to recline. A lot of chairs don't recline much farther than 135?. You will want 170-180? reclining angle for the more intense massage option.

2. Durability

You need a strong, well-built massage chair. Most likely you won?t know how good a motor is or how well built the chair really is, but there are some other ways to know if a chair is a workhorse and will last a while:

Warranty ? It is a good sign when the company gives a longer term warranty. This will give you confidence to know the company stands behind their chairs. But beware of long warranties that are so limited that if anything goes wrong there are so many loopholes to not cover your chair that it?s like you have no warranty at all.

Reputation - make sure that you are dealing with a well known manufacturer. Also, be sure they can always be available to you. For example, a manufacturer's website with a toll-free customer service phone number would be great. The length of time in business is probably a good indicator of how good the manufacturer is. See if the chair/company has any professional endorsements.

New vs. Used - there are a lot of used chairs out there, but just like a used car, you never quite know what you are getting. It?s a good bet the warranty has expired, but you have no idea how the previous owner treated the chair. Who knows...maybe it was in a home that had children jumping on it like a trampoline! The point is you just don?t know how it?s been treated.

3. Ease of repair

A good massage chair will be built with a modular design. Why is this so good? For cheap and easy repair. If a part is broken or material is torn, the modular design will allow you to isolate the damaged part and send it off for repair. This is so much easier and cheaper than sending off the whole chair.

4. Price

Surely you?ve noticed good massage chairs are not cheap. You will be spending some money to get a chair you can count on. But, the price doesn't have to be through the roof. Some chairs are way too expensive for the features that come with them. Prices can range anywhere from $1000 - $6000. Quite a spread, don?t you think? Well, you can get a chair with everything mentioned here for $2000 - $2700. When you compare the price of your chair to regular visits to a massage therapist or a chiropractor, over time the price of the massage chair is far less than what you'd pay out for all those therapy visits.

5. Money Back Guarantee

This is very straightforward, if your retailer can't back up the sale of their chair to you with at least a 30 day unconditional money back guarantee, then you need to be skeptical. This goes back to reputation and customer service. They must stand behind their product. How else can you feel good about your purchase if it's not backed up by the seller? By the way, be prepared to pay for shipping and freight back to the seller if you decide to return your chair. That is pretty standard across the board. And that's not cheap! Hopefully these 5 must know tips have been helpful to you in your search for a quality massage chair. Happy shopping!

The Rising Popularity Of The Massage Chair

Available to the retail market beginning in the 1980's, massage chairs are finally becoming one of the most popular home therapy products on the market. These chairs were developed to provide the benefits of massage therapy to the home user on a regular basis. Also, by being placed in one?s home, it affords a great deal of convenience.

Massage therapy has been used for centuries to treat pain, help with relaxation. Massage is also credited with boosting the body?s immune system through the stimulation of reticular cells. Like a traditional massage, the massage chair is designed to reduce tension, reduce headaches, relax muscles and alleviate pain. Massage chairs are thought to help sufferers of digestive problems, circulation problems, and chronic fatigue.

Earlier models of massage chairs were not very effective. But as technology developed, the mechanisms became more realistic and reliable. While a massage chair may not be able to simulate the total therapeutic benefits of a massage by hand, at the very least, it provides massage motions that are consistent. Some people even say that the electronic massage is in fact better as the motions never tire and they are delivered in a rhythmic and regular fashion.

With the advent of improved technology, today?s massage chairs can be customized and programmed to meet the user?s individual needs. Programs pinpointing problem areas and allowing choice of firmness are becoming standard, and the choice of mechanisms also varies widely. Some feature popular shiatsu style kneading action, while others employ vibration and rollers to achieve that ?ooh, ahh? sensation.

With increased technology and rising consumer demand, the price of good quality massage chairs should continue to drop. This will result in a massage chair becoming more affordable to more families. In time to come, perhaps, the massage chair will no longer be considered a luxury item.
