Practical body maintenance training designed for the real demands of grooming work.
Dog grooming is skilled, physical, repetitive work — and over time, it takes a toll. GroomerReset helps dog groomers reduce strain, protect their body, and keep grooming longer with less pain.
Learn simple resets you can use between dogs — without adding more time to your day.
Developed by a physiotherapy-trained specialist who understands grooming biomechanics.
30–90 second resets that slot into your existing workday. No extra time needed.
Built from real grooming day observation. If it doesn't work in the salon, it's not in the programme.
A 2025/2026 global study by the International Grooming Society, based on approximately 4,000 groomers worldwide, revealed the physical reality of dog grooming. Verify via the IGS Global Groomer Health Initiative →

Have been injured by a dog at least once during their career.
Dog groomers invest years training and refining their skills, thousands on equipment, and months building a loyal client base. Then their bodies break down. Not from weakness. Because nobody taught them how to protect themselves while they work. GroomerReset changes that with practical body maintenance built for grooming.
Injury does not just hurt you. It risks your clients, your income, and your reputation.
Solo groomers lose $600 or more per day — an average of six missed clients per injury day away from the salon.
Salon owners face team-wide disruption when experienced staff are sidelined by preventable physical strain.
Loyal clients bonded to you eventually walk away when consistent service is no longer possible due to injury.
This is not clinical homework. It is 30–90 second resets that slot between dogs.
When you are already wrecked at the end of a long day, with nothing left to give.
Before scissors, between appointments, during turnover. 90 seconds maximum. No equipment.
Every grooming task makes a withdrawal from your body. Small resets make deposits back in. When your balance is healthy, you feel good and work well. When it gets low, stiffness and strain build. When you push into overdraft, pain affects your work — and recovery takes more time, effort and “interest.”
GroomerReset is education and coaching, not individual diagnosis or treatment. If symptoms are severe, persistent, or include numbness or tingling, seek advice from a registered health professional.
GroomerReset is the first body maintenance programme built specifically for dog groomers.
The GroomerReset Protocol is a self-paced video series built for real grooming days. Every module is short and focused. Nothing runs longer than 20 minutes. Resets are easy to do between dogs. No workouts, no gym equipment, and no extra time.
This programme helps groomers understand where strain is building — and what to do before it turns into pain.
Spot your strain pattern early and act before it becomes injury.
Set up your workstation so the work fits your body.
Reset the right area at the right moment: lower back, wrists, shoulders, and neck.
Follow a simple reset sequence that works on fully booked days.
Record how your body feels over 14 days so you can see what is improving and what still needs attention.
“Noreen has recently become involved in the New Zealand dog grooming industry, bringing her extensive experience as a physiotherapist to help groomers specifically. She has created a refreshing program aimed at supporting us in taking care of our bodies. Noreen is a positive and trustworthy person, and I believe her program will greatly benefit many groomers across New Zealand.”
Noreen MacMahon is a physiotherapy-trained injury prevention specialist who has spent years watching groomers at work and recognising the physical patterns others miss.
Highly skilled groomers, deeply committed to their dogs and clients, still turning up with aching wrists, stiff backs, and sore shoulders — often without any practical guidance on how to protect themselves.
By observing real grooming days up close, Noreen could see exactly when and where joints were being overloaded: the reach across the tub, twisting with the dryer, the lift onto the table, the extended minutes in the same posture over every coat. She mapped those moments to specific joint stress and recovery needs.
GroomerReset translates her physiotherapy training into 30–90 second resets and simple setup changes you can use yourself, between dogs, without changing the way you groom.
“If it doesn’t work on a real grooming day, it doesn’t belong in the programme.”— Noreen MacMahon
