I have often found it difficult to tolerate massage.

Healthgirl has mentioned energy healing modalities.
During those times, I have often found a massage practitioner with training in facilitating healing energy to be very helpful. This has included Reiki, Quantum Touch and other modalities. I had discovered I respond to these modalities when I held a great deal of skepticism. Allowing experienced energy facilitation practitioners to work with me had quickly shown me benefits. These modalities often paved the way for a comfortable massage.

Please always exercise caution. Fully licensed massage practitioners know massage is not best for just any/all conditions. If trying massage, start very gently.
