Who buys the Human Touch Novo XT2?

Partners, Spouses, Families: Human Touch's Novo series (Novo, Novo XT2, Super Novo) is one of the only a few that can truly be considered a one-size-fits-all option. It is a favorite, and often one of the only choices when partners, spouses, and families are making a purchase that will accommodate everyone's needs.

Big & Tall Individuals:  The manufacturer of this massage chair tools all of their chairs to be up to 4-5 inches wider, while also extending the length of the massage track. The roller track starts high enough up the chair, to ensure users up to 6'7" still get the benefit of the neck massage, as well as having additional length to reach the top of the hamstrings.

Athletes & Week-End Warriers:  The comprehensive full-body massage, the patented air technology and 3D rollers with 2 phase stretch, really make this an outstanding option

6 Different Massage Techniques.

Most massage chairs offer between 6-12 auto programs. But the Novo XT2 offers a staggering 36 auto programs. Including phenomenal yoga stretches that move under the back to arch and stretch.

Cloud Touch Acupressure - Air Massage

Human Touch's patented Cloud Touch air compression massage, is one of the best overall compression systems on any massage chair.  The air compression feature is applied therapy on both the upper and lower extremities, utilizing oversize, ultra soft, segmented air cells. Precision air cell placement in the shoulders and hips effect postural correction over time, and also aid in "pinning" the body down firmly while the rollers stretch the muscles throughout the back (traction). The compression is always gentle, but can be inflated for 5 degrees producing a very firm compression. Air compression therapy rejuvenates, flushes the body of lactic acid build-up, increases blood flow, and gently stretches ligaments and tendons.  

With 5 intensity settings, the air cells expand, from above the elbow to beyond the fingertips, effecting extensive work on achy or arthritic fingers and hands, relief for sore wrists or carpal tunnel pain, gentle stretching of forearm ligaments, nerves and tendons, and full air compression enveloping the elbow joint and beyond. The Cloud Touch air cells also almost completely envelope the calf area, and completes the reflexology foot massage, by adding pressure to the tops and sides of the foot, thereby pressing the foot firmly against the rollers on the bottom of the foot.  

Automated Legrest & STRETCH!

Automated Legrest - The Novo XT 2 includes an automated legrest. With sensors in the foot, the legrest will extended fully, and then glides back in and stops when it senses the foot. This is a very important feature for taller individuals looking for a massage chair. Spring loaded legrests require a taller user to maintain pressure to extend the legrest to be comfortable during a massage. The automated legrest measure your legs, for the optimal comfort during the massage session.  

Stretch - If you require a firm stretch and/or traction, you want to be sure you select a massage chair with automated legrest. The Novo XT 2 includes 2 stretch positions, OUT and DOWN. This massage chair gives an excellent stretch. The air cells inflate around the foot, ankles and calves, and the automated leg rest then extends OUT (or Down). As opposed to spring-loaded which can only pull DOWN.

Reflexology Foot Massage

The foot rest is an Open style, and accommodates all foot sizes. The reflexology massage is aggressive, but never painful. The Novo XT 2 includes a unique "shearing" style massage - the air cells inflate in an alternating fashion, effectively pushing the foot from side to side OVER the rollers under the foot. The air cells then fold OVER the top of the foot, pushing the foot deeper into the rollers. The leg rest on this massage chair is universally appealing in our showroom.

Altec Lansing High Def Speakers

Bring the 3D L-Track massage experience to another level with the power of a great music experience through Altec Lansing Bluetooth Speakers. With the Altec Lansing name, you can be sure this speaker system delivers high quality stereo sound. Integrate music into your massage wellness regimen and engage yet another of your senses. Integrate the power of Meditation Music with Alpha Binaural Beats for Creativity, Focus, Studying, Enhance Memory, Learning, Concentration & Focus. Listen to a favorite pod-cast or audiobook. Or you can just enjoy one of eight calming built-in nature tracks. The American Psychological Association, cites numerous studies linking music to relaxation, reduced heart rate, and relief for anxiety and depression. Human Touch brings the mind-body connection to enhance the wellness benefits of regular massage.

Advanced LCD Remote

The Human Touch brand is synonymous with quality and innovation. All of their massage chair controllers highly thoughtful designs that facilitate ease of use and simplicity of navigation. Most massage chairs utilize stock manufacturer controllers. The Novo XT2 includes a brand new controller manufactured specifically for Human Touch's Novo XT2. With intuitive navigation control, a slick, clear LCD Screen, you are easily and with facility guided through the massage chair's full suite of programs and features. No more jumping back and forth / drill down style remote. You will be able to cruise features effortlessly, creating a personalized massage, with easy access to intensity settings, roller speeds and depth controls.

Downloadable App

We do love this new remote control, if you prefer, there is a downloadable app which allows you to control the chair from your favorite Android or iOS device. Again, taking it to a new level with ease, convenience and flexibility. Simply connect your device via Bluetooth to your Novo XT2 massage chair and you are ready to sit back, relax, and completely enjoy your Human Touch your Novo XT2 experience.

Who does it fit best?

Human Touch's Novo series (Novo, Novo XT2, Super Novo) is one of the only a few that can truly be considered a one-size-fits-all option.

In our showroom, this is one of the only massage chairs that accommodates from petite to extremely tall in stature - from 5'0" - 6'9" and up to 285 lbs. There are other chair models that are classed as "big & tall", but the massage track may not be quite long enough to give an effective neck massage. Or when it does fit the taller person well, the shoulder airbags are too high on a shorter person. The overall design of the Novo series seems to have eliminated this problem overall. The Novo Series is also a few inches wider than the average massage chair - so broader people can still get an excellent experience.
