Here is a rundown of the most salient features of Osaki Pinnacle together with a short description of each feature:
Zero Gravity Feature
The concept of zero gravity massage chairhas become popular among massage chair manufacturers. In fact, most massage manufacturers have used this concept as their rallying point when pitching for sales. Moreover, many massage chair models have already incorporated this zero-gravity feature into their designs. In fact, some airlines—like that of the UAE airlines—have also incorporated this technology into their seat designs. But what does zero-gravity feature have to do with massage chairs? Well, it is pretty simple to explain—this feature let the massage chair perfectly position your body for the most effective massage experience. This zero-gravity position puts your body at almost 128-degree angle parallel to the ground, allowing your body weight to equally spread across the surface of the chair. Osaki OS-7200H offers, not only a single option but two zero gravity options.
The zero-gravity position has been medically proven to be very beneficial to a person’s health. At this position, you will almost feel virtually weightless. As virtually weightless, your body is immediately relieved of the pressure and stress brought about by the pull of the earth’s gravity. Moreover, it has therapeutic effects on the body because, at this position, the heart of the person is lower than his legs. Furthermore, at this position, the circulation of blood to the heart and brain is further enhanced bringing in the needed nutrients to the upper parts of the body.
Enhanced Roller Technology
The Osaki Pinnacle Massage Chair – OS-7200Hoffers a remarkably more improved roller system technology than those other roller systems used in the earlier Osaki models. Earlier models only featured vertical massage, specifically, at the area of the spine. Of course, in actual massage, you will not only get a vertical-motion massage from the hands of an expert masseur, but you will also get sidewise massage movements for more complete and effective massaging of the back. Thus, to perfectly mimic the actual massage experience given by masseurs, Osaki pinnacle has also incorporated sideway motions as the rollers contract and expand.
The roller motions of Osaki Pinnacle Massage Chair – OS-7200H are also configured to readily adapt to different body sizes and shapes. Other massage chairs are greatly impeded in their roller motions and are limited only to purely vertical motions. But with added sideways motions, Osaki pinnacle roller system goes further in closely mimicking actual massage. Moreover, the use of a computerized body scan system enables the Osaki Pinnacle to provide a holistic massage experience for its users by targeting the specific pressure points of the body.
Quad roller system
The quad roller system of Osaki Pinnacle—that comes with extra soft rollers—can readily mimic the feel of real human fingers and hands. Users can also adjust the rollers’ width to readily suit their individual massage needs. Since Osaki Pinnacle is equipped with a 3D body-scanning technology, it can also push its rollers in, up to two inches deep into the body, to greatly complement its up-and-down and side-to-side movements.
The rollers’ track span of Osaki OS-7200H is 31” inch length which is one inch longer than that of the Osaki OS-4000T. Since it has longer roller stroke than that of OS-4000T, it can provide deeper and more satisfying massage for the back parts of the body. Its longer roller stroke also allows for a more comfortable massage. Moreover, its recommended user’s height for the Osaki Pinnacle just within 5’2″ to 6’5″.
Computerized Body Scanning Technology
Most contemporary massage chairs incorporate the 3D body scanning feature into their designs to provide an extra kick to the massage experience. With the use of a 3D scanning microcomputer, the massage chair can scan the body and figure out where the pressure points are located.Osaki Pinnacle Massage Chair – OS-7200His definitely equipped with this microcomputer that is capable of body scanning. Hence, it can quickly scan the body to readily locate its pressure points. The incorporation of this technology is surely an ingenious way of making the massage experience more holistic. It enables massage chair to flexibly adjust itself accordingly. Moreover, it allows for a deep and customized massage experience for the user.
The Osaki Pinnacle also comes with an advanced Auto Leg Scan System that lets the massage chair adjust itself based on your height. This system also enables the system to concentrate the airbags on the right muscles of the legs.
Five Levels of Intensity
Actual massage done a masseur offers various levels of intensity, and it is these varying levels of intensity that most manufacturers of massage chairs intend to duplicate. The Osaki OS-7200H is designed to offer very deep and complete massage. It is also designed to allow for the altering of the massage level of intensity. Hence, it comes with 5 definable intensity settings to truly mimic the type of massage that you would get from a masseur. Users can readily choose the appropriate massage intensity from among these five levels of intensity. Osaki surely doesn’t want to leave its consumers with limited options when it comes to the levels of intensity of massage
Chromotherapeutic LED Blue Ambient Lights
This massage chair is equipped with Led blue ambient lights that are believed to have chromo-therapeutic properties. Of course, Chromotherapy is an alternative medicine method and is considered a pseudoscience. But massage is also an alternative medicine method. Hence, it is not good to readily dismiss Chromotherapy as without merit.
With the use of chromotherapeutic LED blue lights, you can balance your body energy. This is the reason why Osaki included LED blue ambient lights on the Osaki Pinnacle’s side panels because LED blue ambient lights are believed to have chromo-therapeutic effects, especially, when in a dark room.
S-Track Design
The Osaki OS-7200H features an S-Track design that is far better than the L-Track design of earlier massage chair models. Although the L-Track appears to provide more coverage because the L-track rollers can vary their range from 41 to 47 inches. The length of S-track roller, on the other hand, ranges from 29 inches to 32 inches which is far shorter than that of the L-track. However, the S-Track design provides more accuracy because it follows the spine’s curvature. Hence, it is capable of providing more accurate massage from the neck part area to the tailbone. Moreover, the S-track’s accuracy is further complemented by the 3D body scan system.
The only problem with the S-track is that it doesn’t provide massage to the glutes. Hence, the Osaki Pinnacle Massage Chair – OS-7200H also comes with additional sets of airbags located on its sides for the necessary hip compression. These airbags readily inflate and deflate with an inward squeezing motion for massaging both hips and thighs. It also comes with additional multiple airbags situated at the bottom and top of the armrests. These additional airbags also intuitively inflate to engage the forearms, wrists, and hands with squeezing and compressing motions.
Multiple airbags are also located at the back and sides of the feet and legs. These airbags readily apply a relaxing compression massage to these parts of the body. Additionally, at the bottom part of the foot massager, there are strategically positioned pressure point balls that provide highly localized and concentrated spot massage to your feet.
Lastly, Osaki Pinnacle Massage Chair – OS-7200Halso has airbags located at the outer shoulder areas. These airbags are prepositioned there to give the outer shoulders a squeezing compression massage. These airbags complement the airbags located at the side of the neck area.

With this ready connectivity, you can play and listen to your favorite songs from your iPod or MP3 player. The Osaki Pinnacle also comes with built-in speakers that are located at the massager’s shoulder areas for cool and easy listening to music while the massage session is going on.
Airbag Massage Systems
The Osaki Pinnacle Massage Chair – OS-7200H features a total of 51 airbags which is definitely more numerous than those of other massage chairs. The Kahuna LM6800 chair, for example, has only 36 airbags to boast of and the Osaki OS-4D only comes with 44 airbags. These extra airbags of the OS-7200H are strategically located in the head area and other parts of the massage chair.
The Osaki pinnacle, as we all know, features a new headpiece where these extra airbags are located to provide better neck squeeze and better neck traction. These extra airbags are surely a great improvement over the earlier Osaki massage chairs models. There are also extra airbags for massaging the legs arms, calves, and hips. These extra airbags provide rhythmic compressions on the abovementioned parts of the body to increase the flow of blood into these body parts.

Afterward, these airbags slowly stretch the calf muscles by slowly extending forward and then slowly pulling down on the legs. This movement is designed to stretch the joints and muscles from your lower back to the ankles. This movement comes in both forward and downward stretching motions.
Pros and Cons of Buying the Osaki Pinnacle Massage Chair – OS-7200H
The Osaki OS-7200H features a lot of innovations as compared to earlier models of massage chairs rolled out by Osaki. However, its use is not without some disadvantages. Hence, we have delineated here some of the notable advantages and disadvantages of this massage chair:
Pros
A good Osaki Pinnacle Massage Chair – OS-7200H review will surely take note of the great number of airbags of OS-7200H. As mentioned earlier, the greater the number of airbags, the better its compression capability. Osaki OS-7200H has around 51 airbags which are 7 more than the Osaki OS 4000T and 15 more airbags than that of the Kahuna LM6800.
It has two heating pads on the shoulder areas which the earlier model OS-4000T doesn’t have. The OS-4000T model only has heating pads on the lumbar area.
Its remote control is easy to use and comes with a wireless controller that allows its users wireless control of the massage. Moreover, its control panel is easy to operate and is user-friendly.
Another remarkable advantage of OS-7200H is its being MP3 Player- and iPod-ready. Other earlier models of Osaki don’t have this feature. Moreover, other models from different brands also do not have this feature.
Cons
It can only provide heat therapy to the shoulder and adjacent areas with its 2 heating pads on the shoulder areas; while the earlier model, OS-4000T, has heating therapy feature for the lumbar area. The Kahuna LM6800, on the other hand, has a heating feature that has the capability of spreading heat down to the leg massage ports—a feature which is fairly uncommon among massage chairs.
The heat emanated by the heating pads at the shoulder areas is not controllable, meaning there is no feature in the remote control that allows you to intensify or lessen the amount of heat given off by the heating pads.
Another disadvantage of this massage chair is its limitation when it comes to maximum user’s height. If you are more than 6’4″, you will surely find this massage chair not really suited for you.
Its 31-inch track span may be a bit of a disappointment, considering that other models of massage chairs have greater track spans. A decent roller system, in my opinion, should have longer track span and not just 31 inches. Hence, its 31-track span is quite short, although Osaki OS-7200H compensated for its shorter track span by adding extra airbags.
Based on our comparative analysis of other Osaki models and models from other brands, we can easily maintain that Osaki OS-7200H is indeed worth buying. The Osaki Pinnacle is surely a good option if you intend to buy a mid-range and less expensive massage chair, for other massage chairs of Osaki—like the Osaki JP PREMIUM 4SD and Osaki JP PREMIUM 4SB—are twice more expensive than Osaki Pinnacle Massage Chair – OS-7200H. Furthermore, the innovative and enhanced features of Osaki Pinnacle make this model a really good buy.
This impartial Osaki Pinnacle review commends its remarkable 51 airbags that distinguishes this model from other massage chairs. As said earlier, more airbags translate to more compression. We have our reservations, however, with the 31” track span of the rollers, which, We think, is pretty much short for a decent massage chair like the Osaki Pinnacle; although we all know that Osaki OS-7200H compensated for this shortcoming by adding more airbags. Lastly, it surely not an overstatement to say thatOsaki Pinnacle Massage Chair – OS-7200H is a good choice.
