Nowadays, people are giving more importance to having a daily wellness routine, as that can greatly help you to feel better everyday and also be more productive. Having a consistent wellness routine not only can help you feel better physically as it can help you relax, but also both mentally and emotionally, as it can help in relieving stress, as well as reducing anxiety and depression. One great way to improve your wellness is to get a personalized massage session on a regular basis. However, most people don’t have the time, money, nor inclination to hire a massage therapist in order get a massage when their body requires it. A better alternative is to invest in a high-end massage chair. There are many well-documented therapeutic benefits that you can get by using a massage chair just a few minutes everyday, including an increase in mobility and flexibility, a surge in endorphin levels, and a reprieve from chronic pain. A massage therapy chair will also greatly improve psychological health. Enter Human Touch, a leading provider of high-quality everyday wellness products who recently unveiled its new flagship high-performance massage chair at CES 2024, called the Super Novo X, which aims to redefine the standards of personal wellness technology unlike anything that’s currently available on the market.
WHO IS HUMAN TOUCH?
Human Touch is a 45-year old award-winning company in the wellness industry based in Long Beach, California that specializes in designing and manufacturing high-quality everyday wellness products. The company is the leading supplier of high-performance robotic massage chairs in the United States, while also having a lot of expertise in developing other everyday wellness products, including ergonomic zero gravity recliners (great for people with back pain or people who need a therapeutic-focused sitting solution where they can sit for long periods of time), along with other targeted massage products such as foot and calf massagers.
Taking a unique approach to design, Human Touch combines the experience of top engineers, medical practitioners, world-class athletes, and award-winning design teams to carefully design groundbreaking wellness products which not only help to alleviate physical pain, but also decrease stress on a daily basis.
Combining advanced technology and attractive design, Human Touch high-end wellness products are perfectly suited for serious athletes looking to recover from intensive training, experienced chiropractors who want to integrate the therapeutic massages that Human Touch’s massage chairs have to offer into their professional services, back pain sufferers looking to reduce aches and pains, and also everyday people looking for a way to mitigate the stress of today’s modern lifestyle.
Human Touch recently showcased the Super Novo X at CES 2024, the company’s new flagship high-performance massage chair and their latest addition to its Ascent Series line of massage chairs, which is based on its predecessor model (the Super Novo, originally released at CES 2015) and has been in development for approximately 4 years.
During CES 2024, we had the pleasure of getting in touch with Human Touch’s Director of Marketing, Victoria Lladoc, who mentioned that: “The Super Novo X is particularly designed to not only be used at the start of the day as a way to get yourself reinvigorated and ready to start your work day, but also at the end of the day, because as past studies have shown, if you get a good and thorough massage before sleep, you’ll have a deeper and more restful sleep that’s more beneficial for your body and its overall recovery, both physically and mentally.”
And that’s just one of the many things that Human Touch’s Super Novo X has to offer, as this high-performance massage chair aims to provide its users with countless health and wellness benefits.
Victoria ended by noting that while Human Touch already has some really great high-end massage chairs available for purchase, the company’s new Super Novo X model completely surpasses all of their other massage chair models.
WHAT IS THE SUPER NOVO X?
The Super Novo X is a state-of-the-art therapeutic massage chair designed for both home-use as well as for healthcare businesses such as gyms and wellness facilities which aims to take personal wellness to an entirely new level.
Firstly, in comparison to its predecessor and original model (the Super Novo), the Super Novo X now features teardrop doors (unique to this new massage-chair model) that provide the user with easy access to the chair by allowing them to enter it from the side, pivoting upwards similarly to the doors of a Lamborghini, and then slowly locking down after you’ve sat in the chair.
The chair’s doors also integrate a unique safety feature, coming equipped with a set of high-end safety sensors that detect if a user is still on their way, resetting back up if a person’s body is detected (such as if you still had an arm in the way).
The chair is extremely well padded with a high-quality polyurethane PU material throughout its entire construction which has premium-quality stitching, and its sitting area features a unique design which the company refers to as a “cocoon-shaped seat design”, which provides you with total comfort for your entire body.
Then, for the chair’s cutting-edge wellness technology integrations, the Super Novo X now features a dual robot massage system powered by Human Touch’s DuoSync Massage technology. The chair’s dual massage robots consist of advanced massage nodes that mimic the touch of human hands and emulate a four-hand massage, giving the chair advanced massage capabilities that make it possible to target specific areas of tension, while also featuring therapeutic adjustable heat options for a user’s lumbar region.
Essentially, one massage robot works your neck all the way down to your lumbar, while its other massage robot works the chair’s seat area at the same time, respectively massaging the muscles in a user’s thighs and glutes. The chair’s dual massage robots can perform several types of massage techniques, such as Shiatsu massages, amongst many other techniques.
The Super Novo X massage chair also integrates an enhanced HT Flex S- and L-Track System, which moves with the natural curves of a user’s body and provides a wider range of motion for maximum comfort.
The chair’s HT Flex Track system also allows the chair to be set to a flat horizontal position (the same horizontal position doctors recommend as the healthiest way to sit), which the company calls “Horizon Rest Flat Recline Position”. This zero-gravity position cradles your back and elevates your legs above your heart, offering you an expansive “bend and stretch” functionality that provides unprecedented leg and spine relief, where you can actually feel your vertebrae extending and decompressing, all while also increasing blood flow to the vertebrae and discs and rejuvenating the lower back, allowing you to recover with greater efficiency.
Furthermore, the Super Novo X also features Human Touch’s patented Cloud Touch air compression technology, recognized as the best overall compression system worldwide, which provides acupressure to upper and lower extremities at key healing points, making it mostly suitable for athletic recovery, but also gentle enough for simple self-care.
In addition to its dual robot massage system, the Super Novo X also integrates a unique calf and foot massager with orbital motion that allows blood vessels to dilate, increasing blood flow, oxygen, and nutrients to the user’s tissues.
The chair also integrates a built-in high-tech control panel equipped with button controls at the left-hand side which provide users with advanced fingertip controls with customizable intensity settings, offering them an immersive massage experience with customizable depth control (3D) and enhanced mid-stroke speed variations (4D).
Then, on the right-hand side, there’s also a built-in digital remote control equipped with a touchscreen display which offers users a wide range of memory settings for the chair’s operation. Alternatively, users can also use their smartphone to control the chair’s different functionalities via the Human Touch App.
What’s more is that the chair also features an AI-driven Virtual Therapist, which basically consists of an advanced massage technology that allows users to control the chair’s functionalities by using simple voice commands (starting from 2024 Q2). This smart system listens to the user’s needs and preferences to tailor a unique therapeutic massage experience, with 39 individualized wellness programs that users can choose from.
Last but not least, the chair also integrates Sound by JBL Bluetooth speakers, which can be connected to any Bluetooth-enabled device to stream and play music or other audio content, or alternatively, to play a variety of white noises such as immersive nature sounds which are offered by the chair’s built-in suite of Sound Soothe collection.
WHAT ARE HUMAN TOUCH’S FUTURE PLANS FOR THE SUPER NOVO X?
According to Human Touch, the Super Novo X massage chair will be available for purchase around the end of 2024’s first quarter (Q1) and the start of the second quarter (Q2), meaning around March or April.
The price tag for the Super Novo X will start at $14,999. Users can further upgrade the chair’s appearance by choosing either wood or metallic door panels in alternative to its standard doors panels, and can also choose to go with a premium leather material for the chair’s padding instead of its default polyurethane PU material.
The Human Touch Super Novo X Massage Chair will be available in a wide range of color options, for which you can choose between 5 different colors for its padding, and 8 different colors for its door panels.
You’ll be able to order it via Human Touch’s official shopping page, as well as through selected retailers.
