Human Touch Massage Chair

Human Touch, based in Long Beach, California, is one of the most established massage chair brands in the U.S. market. With a product history going back over four decades and more than 190 patents, Human Touch focuses on chairs that combine clinical wellness, aesthetics, and intuitive user experience. It’s the rare American brand that holds FDA registration, with chairs often found in airports, spas, and even pro athletic facilities.

The lineup spans from ultra-compact entry models like the iJOY Total Massage to luxurious, feature-rich chairs like the Super Novo 2.0. Throughout the range, Human Touch emphasizes ergonomic design, therapeutic routines, and a unique blend of furniture-grade styling and medical-grade safety. While not as aggressive on specs-per-dollar as Osaki or Titan, it brings polish and clinical credibility few other brands match.

Fujiiryoki, officially Fuji Medical Instruments Mfg. Co., Ltd., holds the title of world’s first massage chair manufacturer. Founded in Osaka, Japan, in the 1950s, it’s still a dominant force in Japan’s wellness and healthcare markets. Its chairs are classified as Class II medical devices in Japan, meaning they’re validated not just for comfort, but for clinical benefit.

Models like the JP-1100 and JP-3000 AI reflect this origin, blending a conservative design with deeply researched mechanics. Fuji chairs are engineered to restore circulation, posture, and muscular alignment, with fewer flashy elements and more embedded intelligence under the surface.
