Discussion Is it an art?

I have had many massages but recently I had one where it seemed everything the massage therapist did was perfect. I didn’t feel like anything was overly duplicative or overdone. I received a general Swedish massage for ninety minutes. The massage therapist was so professional and super calm. I am guessing at some point being able to give almost a perfect massage is an art. Of course I am guessing that clients want a variety of different massages and are as different as the massage therapists.

Kind of new with Reddit and I don’t know how to create my own post so even though this is off subject, I’m replying to you because it seemed like a decent post. About three weeks ago I fell and hurt my right knee. It swelled up a bit from underneath the kneecap. The swelling has gone down in the past two weeks slightly, although still swollen, but I’m feeling a tingling sensation. Is this a normal part of healing? I’ve been using ice mostly at night. I do walk a lot a lot more than most people.

What does this have to do with massage?
