Advancing and retracting section 16 moves leg kneading device 5 in housing position P under seat to first use position U1 in front of seat where it is grounded on floor F, and from there to second use position 1J2 in front of seat where it is floating in the air above floor, and returns it to housing position P. Forwardly protruding section 17 moves leg kneading device 5 in second use position 132 in floating state further forward to third use position U3, and returns it to second use position U2.
