Massage in Fracture Healing Gains Medical Ground
Surgeons now employ massage to aid fracture healing as a two element therapy of passive movement and active cooperation. Lucas Championniere pioneered the practice with slow rhythmic stroking near the injury, avoiding the site itself, aiming to restore vaso-motor tone through reflex nervous action. James Mennell described the approach before the Medical Society of London, noting movement as life and contrasting it with conventional forceful manipulation. In a striking parallel, a London magistrate used a Noahs Ark dove simile to illustrate persistence of the Islington man who deserted his family amid a chorus of doves in the ark.
