With Football Season Underway, Human Touch Puts Recovery in the Spotlight

Trusted by Elite Athletes and Professional Sports Organizations, Human Touch Brings Advanced Recovery Technology From the Training Room Into the Home

LONG BEACH, CA, UNITED STATES, September 29, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- With football season in full swing, Human Touch^®, a leader in massage chairs, zero gravity seating and wellness technology for more than 45 years, is highlighting the role recovery plays in supporting athletes both on and off the field. From professional athletes and collegiate football programs to everyday competitors, recovery has become an integral part of maintaining an active lifestyle.

Massage is widely used throughout sports to help address post-exercise soreness, tension and the physical demands that come with intense training. With longstanding ties to professional and collegiate sports, Human Touch has brought its massage and recovery technology into training facilities and athletes' homes, providing an accessible way to incorporate recovery into everyday routines.

That connection includes some of football's top athletes and organizations. Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. and Seattle Seahawks cornerback Devon Witherspoon are among the professional athletes who use Human Touch massage chairs, while NFL organizations including the San Francisco 49ers, Houston Texans, Las Vegas Raiders and Miami Dolphins have incorporated Human Touch massage chairs into their wellness facilities.

Human Touch is also an NFLPA Rewards Partner, providing NFLPA members with access to Human Touch wellness products. The relationship extends beyond today's players to NFL veterans who continue to prioritize recovery long after leaving the field.

"Every time I get out of this chair, I feel so much better. Every former player needs this," said Super Bowl champion and former Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jermaine Kearse.

Kearse is among a growing group of former professional players who have incorporated Human Touch into their wellness routines, underscoring the importance of recovery not only during an athlete's career, but in the years that follow.

At the collegiate level, the University of Alabama selected Human Touch to outfit its football facility with more than 150 customized Perfect Chair^® zero gravity recliners, creating individual spaces for players to relax and recharge within the team's training environment.

“Elite athletes understand that recovery is part of the work,” said David Wood, CEO at Human Touch. “What happens between practices and games matters, which is why access to recovery tools has become such an important part of an athlete’s routine. We have spent decades working with athletes and sports organizations, and that experience continues to shape how we approach recovery and wellness technology today.”

Human Touch brings that approach into the home through its Ascent Series, led by the flagship Super Novo X and the new Super Novo 3.0. Both feature DuoSync massage technology, with two massage mechanisms working simultaneously to provide extensive coverage across the back and body, along with stretching and a range of customizable massage settings.

The Super Novo X, Human Touch’s flagship massage chair, is designed to deliver a comprehensive wellness and recovery experience. DuoSync technology works in tandem with 39 Auto-Wellness Programs and HT Flex Advanced Full-Body 3D Stretch, while AcuPoint^® Body Sensing helps tailor the massage to the user’s body. An auto-extending foot-and-calf massager with heat and orbital motion targets the lower body, with extensive intensity and massage settings allowing athletes to tailor sessions to their recovery needs.

The Super Novo 3.0 brings intelligent technology to at-home recovery, combining an upgraded DuoSync dual massage system with Human Touch’s proprietary HT Flex S- and L-Track for synchronized coverage from neck to glutes. AcuPoint^® Body Sensing provides targeted precision, while massage speed and Cloud Touch Acupressure can be independently adjusted across different zones.

Together, the chairs give users greater control over how and where massage is delivered. For athletes managing demanding training and competition schedules—and for anyone maintaining an active lifestyle—having access to these technologies at home can make them easier to integrate into a consistent wellness routine.
