Massaged a 16yo, and it was her very first massage. She came in with her mother who saw another therapist in a separate room. In prone, she had the sheet and blanket pulled up around her shoulders and pinned under her. She wanted to remain draped in all areas. As if that wasn't enough of a curve ball, she was completely ticklish wherever I touched her regardless of pressure. But, she wasn't laughing, she was squirming and writhing around on the table, bringing her legs up off the bolster, and twisted in all directions. I felt like I was torturing the poor girl. I was in open communication with her the whole time and she insisted it was okay, but I felt like I was giving a non-consentual massage! I literally had to get a beer after work, and I don't drink beer. Any fellow therapists with a similar story?
