Disclosed is a chair-type massaging apparatus that is capable of massaging lower legs freely and precisely in pressing angles or pressing positions with a user seated therein and allows the user to assume a desired posture without interference. The chair-type massaging apparatus of the present invention typically includes a leg rest including a support portion configured to support lower legs of a user, and massaging portions configured to protrude and retract to press the lower legs of the user. The support portion includes protrusible portions that is mounted on both sides in the rightward and leftward direction and is protrusible to rise up inward in the rightward and leftward direction and is retractable. The massaging portions are mounted on the protrusible portions. With the protrusible portions and the massaging portions retracting, the protrusible portions and the support portion located inward relative to the protrusible portion in the rightward and leftward direction and the massaging portions form a substantially flat surface.
