This is one of the most common Ramadan questions I get as a sports therapist & cupping practitioner.

Here’s the breakdown according to the 4 madhabs:

• Hanafi – wet cupping does NOT break the fast
• Maliki – does NOT break the fast
• Shafi’i – does NOT break the fast
• Hanbali – DOES break the fast

The difference of opinion comes from the hadith:
“The cupper and the one cupped have broken their fast.”

Most scholars interpret this as referring to weakness; not actual invalidation of fasting.

If you follow the Hanafi/Shafi/Maliki school, wet cupping during fasting is valid, but it may be disliked IF it causes significant weakness.

As always:
✔️ Know your madhab
✔️ Know your body
✔️ Plan wisely during Ramadan

Allah knows best 🤲🏻

Save this post for later & share it with someone who’s considering hijama while fasting.

MET is a gentle, active stretch technique.

You don’t force the stretch; the muscle does the work.

1. I place the muscle in a stretch.
2. You gently contract it.
3. Then relax.
4. We repeat 3x (10s,10s,20s)
5. And the range increases naturally.

Who is MET for?
✔ Tight quads or hamstrings
✔ Reduced flexibility
✔ Muscle imbalances
✔ Post-training stiffness
✔ Rehab or recovery phases

When is MET used?

⁃ After training
⁃ During rehab
⁃ When muscles feel tight but sensitive
⁃ When aggressive stretching isn’t appropriate

Why do we use MET?

→ Improves flexibility
→ Reduces muscle tension
→ Helps reset muscle length
→ Safer than forcing a stretch
→ Improves movement quality

Where is it used?

⁃ Quads
⁃ Hamstrings
⁃ Hip flexors
⁃ Glutes
⁃ Calves
⁃ Neck & shoulders

This is why MET is a staple in sports massage and rehab work.

📌 Save this if you train regularly

Upper trap pain is rarely just ‘tightness’.
It’s overload from posture, stress, and poor shoulder control.

Stretching helps temporarily.
Resetting movement fixes the cause.

🚨 LOWER BACK PAIN 🚨

Your workouts aren’t “off”… your pelvis might be.

If you’ve suddenly started feeling lower back aches, shaky squats, tight quads, or your form is slipping no matter how hard you try, there’s a high chance your anterior pelvic tilt (APT) is getting in the way of your workout.

APT is one of the most common postural shifts I see in people who train regularly.

Most people don’t even realise it’s happening until their lifts start feeling wrong.

A small tilt can change everything about how you move.

If you think this could be you, drop me a message for a consultation.

1. Your hips are built for lifting

The hip joints and glute muscles are designed to handle load.
They’re powerful, stable, and meant for bending and lifting movements.

2. Rounding your back puts pressure on your spine

When you bend by rounding your lower back, the discs between your vertebrae take unnecessary stress.
Over time, this can lead to

~ Lower back pain
~ Disc irritation
~ Muscle spasms
~ Nerve compression

3. Hip hinging protects your spine

Using a hip hinge (pushing your hips back while keeping your spine neutral) spreads the load evenly through:

~ Glutes
~ Hamstrings
~ Core

This keeps your spine aligned and reduces injury risk.

4. It builds long-term strength and resilience

Every time you pick things up properly, you train your body to move better and stay stronger as you age.

This quick posture test checks your shoulder mobility, thoracic spine flexibility, and lat/pec tightness; all key factors in overhead movement and posture alignment.

If your lower back arches or your ribs flare up, it means your upper body is compensating for tight or restricted areas.
