I have had a number of massages and they have all tickled a little bit or more simply because I am so very ticklish. I do not think it has ever been intentional. The massage therapists have generally been very skilled in not tickling me. My feet are the main place it usually tickles, especially the toes but my kness, chest near the underarms, sides, etc. have been ticklish during massages too. This is with deep tissue massage. I am too ticklish to stand the light touches of Swedish massage.
