Take Control
Massage Programmes massage the specified area of your back for 15 minutes, using a variety of massage techniques. The corresponding LED lights on the remote indicate which massage mode is currently in use.
- Full Back Refresh: Massages your entire back.
- Neck/Shoulder Relief: Focuses the massage on your upper back.
- Lower Back Release: Focuses the massage on your lower back.
- Zone: Targets your massage to a six-inch (15.24cm) zone. Use the Position buttons to focus your massage on the desired area.
Power/park: Stops the massage and parks the massage rollers at the top of the backrest.
Backrest: Use this button to adjust the backrest angle for maximum comfort.
Position: Use this button along with any stationary massage mode, to target the massage to the desired area of your back. You can press this button before or after selecting the massage mode.
When changing backrest direction, there is a slight pause while the chair gears shift. This is perfectly normal.
Massage Techniques
| Massage Mode | What it Does | Benefits |
|---|---|---|
| KNEADING Illustration depicting the kneading massage technique, showing hands applying circular motions. |
Kneads your back in a small, circular motion on both sides of your spine simultaneously. | Relieves tension and soreness by lifting and stretching muscles. Improves circulation and helps bring vital nutrients to the spinal area. |
| PERCUSSION Illustration depicting the percussion massage technique, showing rapid tapping strokes along the spine. |
Alternates rapid-tapping strokes along the spine to stimulate both spinal muscles and spinal joint areas, emulating the percussive massage technique used in sports medicine for deep muscle therapy. | Flexes spinal joints and relieves pressure on the spinal column, invigorating the entire back area. |
| COMPRESSION Illustration depicting the compression massage technique, showing hands applying pressure and rocking motion. |
Presses on spinal muscles and spinal joint areas using alternating strokes and a gentle rocking motion, emulating a technique used in sports medicine and in spinal therapy by chiropractors. | Spreads and puts pressure on deep muscle tissue, forcing it to relax, while the rocking motion loosens spinal joints. Aides in muscle and joint repair due to strain from exercise, long hours bent over a desk, or just day-to-day stress, and can improve mobility and overall posture. |
| ROLLING Illustration depicting the rolling massage technique, showing hands rolling up and down the spine. |
Rolls gently up and down your back near your spine. | Warms and loosens your muscles, preparing your back for deeper massage. Relieves muscle tension, improves circulation and relaxes the back. |
Now choose a massage mode to suit your mood. Your Human Touch massage chair lets you customise your massage using a wide variety of massage modes. Choose from three stationary massage modes and a rolling massage, or combine them! Use the Zone and Position buttons to target your massage to a specific area, or select one of the three auto massage programmes and let the chair take control. No matter how you use it, your Human Touch massage chair offers maximum massage flexibility and refreshing benefits.

Your Human Touch massage chair may have zips that are closed with a plastic Security Tie. Cut the Security Tie with a nail clipper or other suitable instrument. Take care to not cut the chair upholstery.
