Abstract
A lower leg massager is constructed in such a manner that the lower leg can be massaged over a wide range without arranging a plurality of massaging members along the length thereof. Right and left massaging members formed of elongated boards are arranged in an opposed manner so a lower leg can be fit therebetween. A driving mechanism is provided for moving the massaging members toward and away from each other so that the longitudinal directions thereof are inclined in opposite directions with respect to each other, and changing the extent of longitudinal inclination when moving the massaging members toward and away from each other.
