And one more question, what does the usage of の in here with a ですか?'coz I know の can also be used in a question (similar to か)
It could just be me. I'm not exactly fluent, but that's how I translated it.

Both cases are the same, one person asking another, so whatever he says, you can say.

の sort of softens the request like, "is it the fact that you will rub my shoulder for me?" which sounds weird in English, but that's the best way I can translate it...
