My PCP wants me to do the lyme testing though vibrant wellness labs and suggested I do a massage right before.

Does anyone have a recommendation on doing either a Lymph Drainage or a Deep Tissue?

Just trying to figure out which would be better to do as far as getting lyme toxins/bacteria out and moving so that my results could be more accurate.

I think that would be deep tissue. There is a technique called "rolphing" (?) i'm not too sure on the exact spelling but it should get the toxins to come out and move so it's more detectable for PCR type of labs.

Did you try calling them to see if they recommend any kind of provocation? Looking forward to hearing how your experience is with this test! I'm still awaiting my micronutrient testing results with them.

Rolfing gets toxins out through your skin, and is usually done on a person's back. I have not heard of it being used for this purpose, and while it might not be a bad idea, it seems like other more systemic methods might be a better bet?

I think for provocation purposes, sauna or any sort of massage would work fine. I've heard of people using exercise as well, if you are someone who can exercise. All of this is per my LLMD. I didn't do any sort of provocation for my PCR test and still got my positives. But you are supposed to try, to increase the chances of accuracy.
