Over the years Human Touch has developed many wellness products that have earned it countless awards. The products not only help with wellness or alleviating stress, but are also attractive to look at. Both these qualities have aided in helping position Human Touch as a leader in the this field.

Human Touch products include Human Touch massage chairs, iJoy massage chairs, Perfect Chair recliners as well as products for targeted relief and exercise aids. The products hold special appeal for back pain sufferers, but also for anyone looking for relaxation, stress relief or the benefits of massage therapy.

• Heated Gentle Wave Therapy: The chair’s rapid-deploying heat quickly reaches the optimal temperature then electronically maintains the perfect level of warmth. Combined with the Serenity Wave Therapy technology it helps bring a sense of comfort and relaxation.
