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.

5 More Must-Haves In Your New Massage Chair

When making a purchase for a new massage chair there are definitely some significant factors to take in to consideration. Read on below to make sure you know what you are getting in to and what you make sure you look for before any transaction is made.

Customer Service One could say this is possibly the most important thing of all. If something would happen to your massage chair or if you have any other questions or concerns, it is satisfying to have a company that is always available to answer questions. You can?t put a price tag on amazing customer service. Whether it is the manufacturer or the seller, you deserve to have peace of mind in your relationship with them.

Body Size Adjustable There are massage chair companies that offer "sizing" for a chair. If you are looking for a well-manufactured chair, height and width adjustments are standard and should accommodate virtually every body type. The last thing you want is to buy a chair for the family that is "sized" for a 6' 5" man and the 5' 2" woman of the house can't even use it. A chair that has built-in height and width adjustments will cater to everyone?s needs.

Remote Control Most new massage chairs (recliners) come with a remote control to make chair adjustments. There's nothing worse that having to get up off the chair to change the settings.

Appearance A lot of people want their chair to blend in comfortably and seamlessly with the room d?cor of their home or office. Don't compromise on looks for a good price or you?ll just end up disliking the chair because it looks dreadful compared to the room it?s in. You will feel nothing but regret and stress. There is no point in having a massage chair that stresses you out when it is supposed to relieve you of any stress.

Pleased Customers A salesman will obviously tell you everything you want to hear to get you to want his chair. However, you need to talk with present customers and find out what they think about their massage chair. Are there any testimonials the seller has for you to read? If there is no list of satisfied customers just walk away. Trust me, if there are no testimonials something isn?t right. There should always be testimonials on every seller's website.

Massage Chair Offers You Easy Back Pain Relief

Before I tell you about what you can do to cure your back pain I will share a story of a 2 Kilometers road with you. There is a 2 Kms road that stretches in one of the busy suburbs in a metropolitan city. Walk on it, or drive through it. The jerks and the hop-step-jumps that will you do to tackle that road, the breaks, the sudden change of gears and the bumps of the vehicle by the end of the journey it will be cured. If you don't have one, you will get one!

In the normal course, unless there are any special reasons, weak, stressed back or abdominal muscles are the cause of back pain. Apart from the disc problem, the other causes of back pain are poor diet, weak bones due to inadequate calcium, wrong lifting techniques and poor posture.

If your work is the continuous type of desk-work, stand up occasionally and stretch frequently. It breaks the monotony of sitting and helps the body correction. Your chair must support the lower back when you are seated. If your back pain is accompanied by vomiting or fever consult your physician immediately, and if he suggests surgery, take a second opinion.

Massage is another natural option to treat back surgery, but you are so over busy, with your normal lifestyle, that you don't have the required time to look after yourself. So, is there any alternative to receive the relaxing benefits of the massage?

Massage chairs are 'born' to meet this requirement of the busy man. They are trendy and therefore more and more popular these days. They arrived in the market for the first time in the year 1980. The massage benefit that you get out of these chairs is almost equivalent to the one you will get from a professional massager.

The main advantage of the massage chair is that you can have it in the comfort of your house, and no wastage of time is involved. After a day's tiresome office activities and the subsequent travel, sink into your massage chair. With a touch of the button, the massage is on. With the advanced technology, you have many new models, fully programmed and customized, to meet your individual requirements.

So, your office chair might be the one that is back-pain giver. This massage chair is the pain and stress reliever, including your back pain. Some chairs have the massaging footrests. You can massage your feet as well as the calves.

So your chair for back pain will also give you several ancillary advantages. It certainly helps to better the blood circulation.

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.Caroline Colby is a publisher of information on Massage Therapy.

Growing Massage Chair Health Trend

How many of you have noticed the growing trend in malls, airports, train stations, department and specialty stores and maybe even your best friends home of the Massage Chair? They seem to be everywhere now days and are almost always in use. People of all ages are feeding the plush vending chair dollar bills like a pleasure giving video game.

This new health trend is sweeping Japan, Europe and has now infiltrated the U.S. with dozens of models and price ranges from a few hundred to several thousand dollars. A recent LA Times article describes them as “not your fathers La-z-boy” and that, is an understatement for sure.

Websites like www.massagechairoutlet.com are popping up all over the internet touting massage strength, air compression, rolling, kneading, tapping and “shiatsu style” massage.

If any of you have had a “shiatsu style” massage it’s similar to getting rolled in a dark ally by a couple of bullies taking out their frustrations on your back. But man do you feel better the next day.

Not surprisingly massage as a health practice has been around for thousands of years. It was actually massage that lead to the advent of acupressure and acupuncture in the Far East as early as 6000 BC and has been continually refined ever since.

Medical professionals have pointed out that there exists a particular type of cell under the skin. This cell normally sits dormant, however when kneaded or massaged, this cell becomes stimulated. Once awakened, this cell enters the bloodstream and develops into a reticular cell, which can remarkably strengthen the body's immune functions and boost the disease-resisting abilities of the human body.

Today’s massage chairs, through computer technology, can actually “sense” the size and shape of each individuals back and apply varying degrees and types of massage to acupressure points on the users back, neck, legs and even foot to produce an amazingly human like massage.

Stimulation of these acupressure points has been shown to help with: Digestion, Insomnia, Headaches, Circulation, Fatigue, Muscle Cramping, Fibromyaligia and may even effect endorphin levels producing an elevated emotional state, which is what usually happens when I get a massage, even a poor one.

Having tried several of the massage chairs found on the above internet site I can say that this new massage chair trend is probably here to stay. It’s much like the TV, microwave and now cell phones. Once you have one, it’s hard to imagine life without it.
