Can you control all your stress?  No one can control all of life's stresses, but you can get relief as you need it. One way to control your stress is by getting relief when it arises. The Human Touch HT 3300 provides you with many massage treatments to relieve and soothe your body and mind.

The HT-3300 massage recliner comes in a sleek modern design. It has sloping oak accented armrests. The rest of the chair is done in a solid color with a black swivel base.

This particular recliner comes in a fairly modern design. It is a simple design and does not have much in the form of designer touches. Perhaps the biggest highlight is the oak wood arms. There are other models in the Human Touch line that are more attractive than this particular one.

This Human Touch massage chair makes it easy to customize the massage. It comes with a handheld wired remote control. The remote control is fairly simple to use and has LED lights to indicate if a certain operation is active.

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 shiatsu style techniques in these types of shiatsu massage chairs.

There are also a number of manual massage techniques. There are four professional massage techniques that allow you to target different trouble spots. These massage techniques include rolling, kneading, percussion and also compression.

This model of recliner also comes with a power recline for the chair back. Use the remote control to adjust the angle of the chair back. The chair will recline to a 170 angle. Keep in mind that 180 is completely flat or horizontal.

In order to adjust the angle of the leg rest, a manual lever is used. The manual lever activates a piston which will push the leg rest up. However, in order to lower the leg rest, you must use your legs and push down.

A feature that adds to the design aesthetics of the chair is the rotating calf massager. There are two sides of this calf massager. One side is flat and the other one has leg wells. Get your massage by inserting your legs into the leg wells. When you are done, you can flip the calf massager to a flat side making it more attractive when not in use.

The leg rest can massage either the feet or the calves. You can position your legs inside of the leg wells to receive a treatment. Otherwise you must bend your knees to position your feet on top of the calf massager to receive a massage.

This shiatsu massage chair is called a full body massage recliner by the manufacturer, but it actually lacks a massage mechanism in the seat. The seat has just a condition and does not have any massage features. Therefore, it is not really considered a full body massage chair.

Although this has a number of different massage programs, I personally did not find that they were very strong for my taste. I prefer more deep tissue type of massage and found that this chair was much more subtle and weak than others in its class.

The Human Touch HT 3300 has a contemporary design but is somewhat bland compared to other models. The strength of the massage is not as effective as I would wish. I do like the swivel base style of chair and also like the rotating calf massager. However, a stronger massage for the back would be my preference.
