WARM-UP AND SHAPE-UP FOR RAMADAN
Jun 15, 2014
TIMEZ5 Global Inc., the creators of the world’s first physiological prayer mat has been helping customers get in shape at their retail outlet. Twice a week TIMEZ5 customers schedule one-to-one sessions with Eman Al Janahi TIMEZ5’s resident physiotherapist.
The elderly are lining up to get advice to get in shape for the blessed month of Ramadan. During Ramadan Muslims typically spend less time moving which impacts their health. Medical experts at TIMEZ5 are helping customers by teaching them simple exercises making prayer a more enjoyable experience.
52% of Muslims suffer from knee pain, combined with back and neck pain dominating health challenges for Muslims. TIMEZ5 labs, the company’s R&D arm, found Muslims are motivated by spirituality as an incentive to better physical health. Several customers have shown their discontent with conventional medical practices not recognizing their spiritual needs and rituals. Bridging this physical and spiritual gap has become a frustrating experience for many Muslims. Ahmed Saleh, a TIMEZ5 customer, stated “I have many conflicts with my doctor trying to balance his recommendations and my spiritual beliefs”. Saleh further added “Islam has many cures in the glorious Quran. We don’t spend enough time understanding them”.
This pre-Ramadan period TIMEZ5 is working closely with customers to get ready for a positive physical and spiritual season. The company is using its new retail outlet to educated consumers about the physio-spiritual experience. The retail presence has helped educate customers to help themselves, their families and other members of their communities.
