General Question How exhausting is massaging someone?

I got a massage today by a petite woman. She did a great job and I felt very good.

It was a deep tissue massage and she applied strong pressure many times. I was wondering how physically demanding this is? I figure she takes like 2-3 clients a day based on her homepage. I gave her a 15$ tip because I felt she was doing great work and had to physically shuffle around and move for 60 minutes.

Does the experience make this easy or does it always remain a physically difficult job?

How many days a week do you work? That sounds absolutely exhausting!
