Ticklish feet - Therapy

Gwenwon, yes massage therapy can help you - but I would suggest you work with someone who is not only informed what the issue is about for you, but who can be very present & responsive to your needs too. Whoever you go to, make sure you communicate with them during the session if you are uncomfortable in any way.

Long deep gliding strokes are generally more well tolerated by those dealing with being ticklish, then any form of light feathery touch. I feel they are more effective for releasing mental/emotional & muscular tension as well.

I've also found that using a couple of my hot stones laying on top of the blanket (across the abdomen, & lower sternum region) effectively helps people relax more quickly & deeply at the beginning of sessions. Sometimes essential oils can aid in the process, especially for those who are tense & don't feel safe to let go to touch, have a couple of ways in which their system is being directed toward relaxation. This type of stimulation of the senses allows the breath to slow down & deepen, while the mind is processing what is happening without having to be in a hyper alert mode.

I've never had a ticklish person who couldn't be made nonticklish. So far, that is. The things that make us ticklish are the same as the things that make us feel tight and sore. Slow down, sink in, and calm the nervous system.

I have not been able to log in since April but I do want to report that I found someone in my area who was ok with trying this and I had 5 sessions with er where she did deep tissue (the massage I prefer) and concluded it with tickling my feel. It was absolutly great. It is the best I have ever felt. She has sense move out of state but refered me to someone else who took over and is great at it. It was a new thing for her but she really gets it and understands the benefits. She even starts giggling at my reactions. We are set up for every other week. This is the best I have felt in years.

Congratulations JSW!!! It works wonders, doesn't it. I've said it over and over, you have to surrender to the sensation and not fight it. My therapist loves it!
