contents We present a comprehensive joint analysis of two distinct methodologies for measuring the mass of galaxy clusters: hydrostatic measurements and caustic techniques. We show that by including cluster-specific assumptions obtained from hydrostatic measurements in the caustic method, the potential mass bias between these approaches can be significantly reduced. Applying this approach to two well-observed massive galaxy clusters A2029 and A2142. We find no discernible mass bias, affirming the method's validity. We then extend the analysis to modified gravity models and draw a similar conclusion when applying our approach. Specifically, our implementation allows us to investigate Chameleon and Vainshtein screening mechanisms, tightening the posteriors and enhancing our understanding of these modified gravity scenarios.
