These appear to be documentary style photos of a medical massage therapist at work on a wounded GI, perhaps at a military field hospital in the WWII era? I posted the bottom photo about two years ago. The top one is new to me.

  1. Both massage photos were taken by LIFE photographer Carl Mydans in 1938. They're from a photo set in the LIFE magazine archive called "Washington Red Skins at Virginia Training Camp." -Larry

  2. For a few more photos from that LIFE photo set, including some football players in the shower, see this post in my blog The Unashamed Male: https://unashamedmale.blogspot.com/2021/01/athletes-part-2-washington-redskins-at.html
    One surprising thing is how much smaller pro football players were in 1938 than they are today.
