GENTLE BODYWORK
Lymph Drainage Therapy
Understanding Lymph Drainage Therapy
Lymph drainage bodywork uses a gentle approach rather than the firm kneading associated with deep tissue massage. At The Path to Wellness in Tulsa, discuss why you are seeking the service before choosing an appointment. Swelling can have different causes, and a wellness service should not be used to diagnose an unexplained change. If your main concern is new swelling, arrange medical assessment first so any treatment decision is based on the cause rather than a general promise to detox.
The National Cancer Institute’s lymphedema guidance explains that manual lymphatic drainage can form part of specialist care alongside other measures. This is different from claiming that massage removes toxins, boosts immunity, or produces weight loss. For diagnosed lymphedema or swelling after cancer treatment, ask your healthcare team whether you need a certified lymphedema therapist and a coordinated plan. Do not assume that every spa service described as lymphatic work provides that specialist care.

Planning a Suitable Appointment
Current appointment options
The booking menu lists Lymph Body Massage at $120 for 60 minutes. Post-Op Lymphatic Massage is listed at $85 for 30 minutes or $130 for 60 minutes. Confirm suitability with your surgical or medical team and the practice before choosing a post-operative service. A menu listing does not establish that it is appropriate at every stage of recovery.
Who will provide the appointment?
Ask the team which professional is available and what relevant training they have. The practice is directed by Teresa Wilkinson, RN, Doctor of Oriental Medicine, as described on our About page. Call 918-494-0082 to discuss service options and total cost.
Does this replace medical treatment for swelling?
No. Continue the care plan recommended for your diagnosis and seek assessment for new or worsening symptoms.
