Take control of your stress by relieving it as it arises with a massage chair. I take a look at the Human Touch HT 3300 massage recliner. This massage recliner comes with a variety of different programs to provide massage therapy when you need it most.

You'll find that this recliner comes in a very contemporary style. It has a platform to provide stability. It also has the capability to swivel in any direction. This can be convenient to face the chair in any direction that you choose.

One thing that you'll notice with this massaging recliner is that the calf massager can be hidden. This helps the design aesthetics especially on a swivel base recliner. The design of this chair is rather plain. It's most attractive feature are the wood armrests.

The remote control of this recliner is fairly simple and straightforward. It is a palm-sized remote which comes with a variety of controls to select the features you would like to use. Like most remote controls this one is also hardwired into the chair.

Select from numerous programs to provide relief to your body. This recliner includes pre-programmed automatic massages. You can push one button on the remote and it activates the massage program of your choice.

There are a number of manual professional massage techniques contained in this lounger. These are manual movements which are designed for specific types of relief. These techniques include kneading, rolling, percussion and compression. Target any of these techniques to relieve trouble spots on your back.

One nice feature of this massage chair is the power recline for the chair back. This enables you to set the angle of the chair back by pressing a button on the remote control. You can set the chair back to a 170 angle.

The calf massager angle can be adjusted. This is done using a manual lever located on the side of the chair. The manual lever activates a piston which will raise the leg rest. However to lower this leg rest, you must use force from your legs to push the calf massager back downward.

The calf massager comes with a unique rotating device. To use the calf massager simply put your legs in the leg wells. When you are done, you can rotate the calf massager to a flat side. This makes the lounger more attractive when not in use.

This particular recliner is equipped with a multispeed foot and calf massager. This is a great way to relieve tight muscles and aching feet. Simply adjust the angle of the calf massager to either accommodate your calves or to accommodate your feet.

The marketing of this massage chair is somewhat misleading. It is called a full body massage chair but lacks massage capability for the buttocks and thighs. A true full body massage chair has massage capability in the seat for the buttocks and thighs.

There are a number of automatic and manual massage techniques with this massage chair. Personally, I do not find that they were as effective as other chairs in its class. I prefer a stronger massage and felt that this chair was rather weak.

As with any massage chair, it is important to try one out to make sure it'll fit your needs. The Human Touch HT-3300 was weaker than I had hoped. I have found that if the chair is weak in the beginning then it'll be less effective in the future. You will build up resistance to the massage and it is better to have a stronger massage chair than a weaker one as you can always soften a strong massage chair. However, you cannot make a weak chair stronger.
