Zubeir Mohammed specialises in cupping and acupressure, a practice that began accidentally in 2014 after being diagnosed with chronic transverse myelitis- a neurological disorder of the spinal cord.
Symptoms began while he was walking around the Kaaba in Mecca during the lesser Hajj referred to as Umrah for his parents. “It started as a pain in my heel,” recalls Mohammed, but later turned into “a disease that was threatening to put me in a vegetative state.”
Despite local hospitals prescribing calcium based drugs, the condition kept deteriorating and he sought treatment in India after a CT scan showed growth along his spinal column.
