I see two arguments against the interpretation of the log as a healing device.
1. All of your examples stress the need for a physician to perform the manipulation. We know that nymphs can appear in pairs in this section, yet this one is alone.
2. The thing floats in the water, which is why one thinks of it as made of wood. The figure appears to be using it as a flotation device.
