English to ruffle doctor? Time for some light massage! (10)

'massage' is the definition.
(I know that effleurage is a type of massage)

'english to ruffle doctor? time' is the wordplay.
'english' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'to' says to put letters next to each other.
'doctor?' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'doctored' mean this).
'time' becomes 'age' (an age is a period of time).
'ruffle' is an anagram of 'ffleur'.
'e'+'ffleur'+'age'='EFFLEURAGE'

'for some light' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?
