I had forgotten how wonderful Las Vegas can be! The American Osteopathic Association decided to hold their annual meeting at The Sands Expo and Convention Center and use The Palazzo Hotel as the headquarters hotel. They could not have made a better choice! The suites were fabulous, and the service was truly five star.

As for the meeting, I was stunned at how well attended the conference was. Action in the Human Touch booth was non-stop for the entire three days of exhibition. As usual, the HT-7120 massage chair was the star of the show and the HT-7450 Zero-Gravity massage chair was a close second. The impact of the PC-6 (Perfect Chair) was more noticeable at this conference then in past years. More and more doctors are starting to realize the real benefits of “zero gravity“. The way the chair instantly transfers the load off the spine, the way the chair keeps the knees flexed above the heart, (as well as the head), improving venal return and lymphatic drainage, the way the chair distributes the weight evenly, all work in concert to deliver the most comfortable, therapeutic seating experience possible! The future for ALL furniture IS the zero gravity design!

This was by far the best AOA event we have attended and look forward to exhibiting next year in San Francisco, CA!

I took the red eye flight from Las Vegas to Atlanta, GA Tuesday night so I could attend the legendary durable medical equipment trade show known as “Medtrade” I am so glad I made the trip! In as much as the overall size of the show was smaller than recent years, the number of attendees was plentiful and enthusiastic! The debut of the HT-5005 had a very good reception as a low cost HT massage chair with a lot of features and a lot of “eyeball”. I anticipate great sales for this chair.

The demand for new products available for DME dealers has never been more evident than it is now. People want a chair that not only has therapeutic benefits that, Human Touch products offer, but a massage chair that looks as good in the living room as does the entire Human Touch line!

I will be attending the Florida Chiropractic Society meeting, November 14th, 15th, and 16th, in ST. Petersburg, Florida at the Hilton, and the Florida Chiropractic Association meeting the following week end, November 21st, 22nd, and 23rd, in beautiful Naples, Florida at the Naples Grand Resort. I will report back to you after those events!

In the mean time, “We Got Your Back!”

Wrapping up FCA For some, Florida Chiropractic Association’s annual summer convention was not as busy as in past years. For us at the Human Touch booth though, it was non-stop action from open to close. There were hundreds of DC’s from all over Florida. Many with their families, staff and in some cases their friends, and even a patient or two. Oh yes, and let’s not forget to mention a few celebrities like Duane Clemmons from the Cincinnati Bengals and a coach or two from the NFL.

With such a large area to work with, we were able to display many different model massage chairs as well as our IJOY Board and IJOY Ride. A significant numbers of doctors are using these two devices for therapy in their practices. Neuro-muscular re-education, proprioception, ankle rehab, core training, and joint mobility just to name a few. Both are low cost and very reliable.

With all that we brought to the meeting, I think the biggest hit was the “Perfect Chair“, the zero-gravity chair from Human Touch.

Not only is the PC the most comfortable chair you will ever sit in, but it is very useful in relieving chronic low back pain as well as preventing it in the first place. As soon as you sit down in the PC. You will immediately feel your spine “unload”. Your knees stay flexed, and your weight is distributed evenly. This is the formula for supreme comfort! Once you sit in ” zero-gravity“, you will never be satisfied with just sitting!
