Osaki Os-Pro Admiral 2 Massage Chair Review

With its soothing kneading style application and premium full body compression massage, The Osaki Admiral Massage Chair is one of the best midrange massage chairs on the market.

It constantly outsells many other brands with more shiny features. It's not hard to see why. We'll break down why in the Osaki OS Pro Admiral massage chair review.

 

Osaki Admiral Massage Chair Overview

There was a time when we thought that getting a massage was a luxury for a few select people who have the time to lounge around, but not anymore. Massage chairs are becoming increasingly popular as the work from home trend continues to grow. After long days sitting at the desk, it's important to create vitality and to continue increasing blood circulation.

The Osaki OS Pro Admiral shines in this category. The Osaki OS-Pro admiral massage chair is a sleek massage chair equipped with the right type of features that will make your massage a wonderful experience. The SL track roller system massages from your neck to your glutes while you relax from a stressful day. Sit down, loosen up your back with the advanced lumbar heat therapy. The automatic body scanning technology will adjust to your needs, sit you back in the perfect position, and help take your mind off work.

 

Features of the Osaki OS-Pro Admiral Massage Chair:

3D Massage Mechanism

Osaki OS-Pro admiral II massage chair has 3-D massage rollers that move in 3 different directions to reach different parts of the body. The 3-D massage rollers move forward backward and sideways, it also protrudes. This helps the Os Pro Admiral II go deeper than massage chairs with a 2D Roller system.

The massage roller system allows you to control intensity as well, which help you configure your massage to how you want it.

It has 5 levels of speed to control and 6 levels of intensity. This allows you to do a deep tissue massage as well as back off and do more of a therapeutic massage. The 3D rollers do an especially good job in the lumbar area. This is why the OS pro Admiral II is commonly recommended for back pain.

Full Body Airbag Massage

A great full body air bag massage system will help the massage get to key areas in your lower back and neck area. It's important the air bags are strong enough to support the massage type your want. You'll have no issues with the Osaki OS Admiral.

The OS Pro Admiral II is equipped with 24 airbags that are stationed at different contact points. The air bags inflate to apply pressure and also help hold your body so the pressure applied from the rollers can provide a deeper massage.

I noticed in my tests that the Admiral did a great job at applying the optimal level of pressure during my auto programs. This left me quite impressed as I feel many massage chairs lack a great full body compression massage.

SL-Track Massage

The Osaki OS Pro Admiral II SL track will go from your neck area to the base of your glutes. The S-L track system on the upper hamstrings was aided by the space saving technology inspired by NASA (more on this in a minute).

The Os Pro Admiral II strength allowed the optimal amount of pressure applied to my hamstrings which helped open up my lower back. I didn't let the air bags inflate to full pressure, but I could tell the Admiral could do a deep full body massage experience if I wanted to.

Zero Gravity Position

Zero gravity position was inspired by NASA technology and has been incorporated by Osaki to help users reduce the pressure on the lower back, brought about by the effect of gravity. You'll be able to lie back in the perfect position while the compression massage helps ease tension.

I found the zero gravity position to be the best for the deeper massage programs. This helped the relaxation experience and overall comfort. Kudos to the NASA technology!

Auto Body scan Technology

While the computerized body scanning technology of the Osaki OS Pro Admiral II isn't revolutionary, it's very good for a massage chair in this class. Key areas that the OS Pro Admiral II did well is have the correct shoulders height.

With some massage chairs, there is an issue with the shoulders height on the automatic body scanning will diminish the relaxation experience. The chair will fail to stimulate acupuncture points and create varying pressures during the massage.

The OS Pro Admiral II body scan was spot on, leading to a soothing kneading style application during the massage. This helped hit acupuncture points, which it quite important for an overall great massage experience.

Unique Foot Roller Reflexology Massage

Osaki OS-Pro admiral massage chair uses foot rollers and airbags to deliver an effective foot massage for its users. Osaki OS-Pro admiral massage chair has triple-spinning reflexology massage rollers that are located at the feet. The rollers spin to stimulate acupuncture points.

While the rollers spin, the footrest also contains an ankle grip function that ensures that your feet are in place during the massage. With the ankle grip function in place, you don't have to worry that your feet will be forced out of the footrest due to pressure from the massage chair.

What helped me enjoy the reflexology massage was the overall quality of the full body airbag massage system.

Extendable FootRest

Ever sat in a massage chair that was uncomfortable because it could not accommodate the length of your leg? Definitely not a great experience. I've had many massage experiences ruined by a bad footrest. Osaki OS-Pro admiral massage chair is equipped with an extendable footrest that extends outwards up to 7.1". This is outstanding range for a footrest in the market.

The leg component can be manually controlled by simply pushing your feet into the footrest to adjust it to your optimal leg length, if you want to retract it, you push your feet back to retract it. The extended footrest can also be adjusted using the Osaki Admiral remote control.

 

Space-saving Technology

If you are considering buying a massage chair for your home, one of the first things you want to consider is where you will likely put your new massage chair. If your living space is tight you may want to go for a space-saving technology inspired by NASA. Osaki OS-Pro Admiral massage chair has a space-saving technology inbuilt in their massage chair that requires just a 2-inch outlay from the wall where your massage chair is.

The space-saving technology enables the chair to recline backward just two inches and even if you want to use the zero gravity mode, the remainder of the chair length sits on the base of the massage chair.

Most massage chairs now deploy space-saving technology to ensure they satisfy their customers but some massage chairs like the Osaki OS-Pro admiral massage chair use a little less space than others.

Pro tip: Take a good measurement of where you want your massage chair installed and see if the space-saving technology installed in this chair is worth it.

Lumbar Heat Therapy

The Osaki Admiral has great lumbar heat therapy, likely part of the reason it's been popular for so many years. The effect of heat during massage can not be over-emphasized. Heat increases blood circulation because it raises the body temperature and enables blood to flow optimally. This aides in flushing toxins from the body.

Osaki OS-Pro admiral massage chair has heating pads located at the lumbar region of the chair and also at the leg component . The heating pads located in the lumbar region provide a soothing massage to your waist region, this is especially important to you if you suffer from low back pain.

Heat therapy often acts as an analgesic and can relieve pain, it can also loosen up joints if you struggle with arthritic pains that impede your range of motion.

You won't be disappointed by the Admirals lumbar heat therapy.

 

When it comes to auto massage programs in the Osaki OS-Pro admiral massage chair. At times the number of auto programs almost felt like overkill. The good news is the auto massage programs that comes with this massage chair are very good.
Here are auto massage programs available with the Osaki OS Pro Admiral II:

6 Manual massage Styles

While we are still enjoying the above auto massage programs, we still have 6 manual massage styles that you can use in case you do not want any of the auto massage programs. Osaki OS-Pro is packed with massage styles.

What I love about using these massage styles is that you can pick a particular massage and direct or target it to a specific area of your body where you want to address it ( this is called spot massage). I personally enjoy chairs that do a great spot massage on the lumbar area as well as the upper shoulders. I give the Osaki OS Pro Admiral II an A for the lower back spot massage, and a B for the neck and shoulder massage.

Let's look at the different styles of massage in this chair:

Kneading: The kneading style provides a soothing and kneading application style which occurs by applying pressure that lifts that muscle in a circular and upward motion. This style helps to loosen collagen fibers and release tension in muscles.

Clapping: This massage option helps to loosen mucus from the lungs when it is performed on the upper back and lower back, it also aids expectoration.

Tapping: This is a form of percussion massage style that helps to relieve deep soft tissue pain

Rolling: This massage option helps to release pain, increase flexibility and loosen the skin.

Shiatsu: This massage helps to relieve tension in specific aspects of the body via the application of pressure.

Kneading ad tapping: This massage option uses a combination of kneading and tapping to deliver maximum massage results.

While the auto massage programs are great, I love that you can choose a particular massage style to suit your need without being forced to use the auto massage option.

Bluetooth Speaker

Osaki OS-Pro admiral massage chair has Bluetooth technology embedded in it that enables you to listen to music while you get a massage. Certain types of music have been proven to have a relaxing effect on our bodies and minds, hence its use in most massage parlors.

You can connect to any music of your choice with only one Bluetooth connection per time. The Bluetooth technology comprises high-quality speakers and LED light that emits from the high-quality speakers that are usually stationed by the side of the headrest. The LED light control features enable you to know when the Bluetooth device is connected to the massage chair and when it is off.

LCD Control Remote

The LCD control remote is a slim and easy-to-handle feature of the massage chair that is used to control Osaki OS Pro Admiral II. With the LCD remote control, you can easily access the remote to control the massage experience. Many newer chairs use a tablet instead of an LCD remote.

While the tablet provides better visuals, the Osaki Admiral remote allows for easier adjustments keeping the eyes closed.

USB Charger

The beauty of using the Osaki OS-Pro admiral massage chair regularly is that you don't have to be disconnected from the outside world while you take a massage, in these days of working from home you can have a quick massage at home while using the USB charger to charge any device that you are using while on the massage chair.

If you want to also receive phone calls even while in zero gravity mode, you can make it happen.

Multi-language Support

The Osaki OS-Pro Admiral also offers a multi-language support ability in its remote control, this is to make it easier for anyone that speaks any of these 3 languages to be able to use it effectively. The languages offered are Korean, English, and Chinese.

Conclusion

Osaki OS-Pro admiral chair is one of the best Osaki Massage Chairs with some very unique features that make it quite attractive. While there are other high end massage chairs in the market, I really like the Admiral at the $3,999 price point.

You're going to get the optimal level of massage on your lower back and complete control of your massage experience. While it's not as flashy as some other massage chairs, the Osaki OS-Pro Admiral II is a great all around massage chair at the midrange price point.

Another more important factor is the fact that you get a 5 years warranty from Osaki, most massage chairs give you only 3 years. You also get free curbside delivery with this chair if you are ordering from any of the lower 48 states in the US.
