GroomerReset Mini Course - NZ$67 one-time payment
Dog grooming is skilled, physical, repetitive work — and over time, it takes a toll.
Repeated gripping, reaching and bending can build up strain throughout your grooming day. GroomerReset helps you recognise these patterns and make practical changes to how you work — without overhauling your grooming routine.
Built on Experience
Drawing on over 12 years of clinical physiotherapy experience and a background in injury prevention, GroomerReset combines knowledge of movement and body mechanics with practical, grooming-specific education.
Fits Between Dogs
Targeted 30–90 second body resets that fit between grooming appointments — without lengthy exercise routines.
Grooming-Specific
Built from real grooming day observation. If it doesn't work in the salon, it's not in the programme.
This Is Not Just You. It Is Most Dog Groomers.
A 2025/2026 International Grooming Society study of approximately 4,000 groomers worldwide revealed the physical reality of the job.
Report Back Pain
The most common complaint among professional groomers worldwide.
Joint or Muscle Pain
Including pain in the shoulders, knees, back, wrists and hands.
No Ergonomics Training
More than half have never received in-depth ergonomics training covering posture, table adjustment and lifting techniques.
Get the Mini Course →Fear Leaving the Job
Fear leaving the profession they love due to pain entirely.
Injured by a Dog
Have been injured by a dog at least once during their career.
When You Can't Groom, the Impact Goes Beyond Pain.
Lost Income
For solo groomers, missed appointments means lost revenue — plus the work of rearranging bookings.
Team Disruption
When a groomer needs time off, colleagues may have to absorb extra appointments or reschedule clients.
Client Relationships Lost
Repeated cancellations can affect client confidence and put long-term relationships at risk.
Small Resets. Built Into Your Grooming Day.
30–90 second body resets that fit between dogs - without lengthy exercise routines or special equipment.
Wait until after work
Trying to fit in body-care exercise when you're already tired after a full day of grooming.
Quick resets between dogs
Use natural pauses in your grooming day for targeted 30 - 90 second movements. No special equipment needed.
Notice Strain Early. Adjust How You Groom.
Think of your body's capacity like a Joint Bank. Repetitive gripping, reaching and sustained positions can increase physical load. Small changes to your setup, movement and short resets can help manage that load.
Use the Traffic Light System to recognise when it's time to adjust.

Built on Experience. Designed for Groomers.
GroomerReset was created by Noreen MacMahon, drawing on over 12 years of clinical physiotherapy experience and a professional background in injury prevention.
By observing real grooming tasks and listening to groomers describe their physical challenges, Noreen recognised how repetitive gripping, reaching, bending and twisting can contribute to daily strain.
GroomerReset turns that knowledge into practical education — smarter workstation setup, better working habits and short, targeted resets that fit into a busy grooming day.
“If it doesn’t work on a real grooming day, it doesn’t belong in the programme.”— Noreen MacMahon
