Your Body Shouldn't Pay The Price For Dog Grooming
Practical body maintenance training designed for the real demands of grooming work.
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.
Built by a physiotherapy-trained specialist who understands grooming biomechanics.
30–90 second resets that slot into your workday. No extra time.
Built from real grooming day observation. If it doesn't work in the salon, it's not in the programme.
A 2025/2026 International Grooming Society study of 4,000 groomers worldwide revealed the physical reality of the job.
The most common complaint among professional groomers worldwide.
Report moderate to severe joint or muscle pain affecting their work.
Never received any form of ergonomics or body maintenance training. Nobody taught them how to protect themselves.
Start Grooming Smarter →Fear leaving the profession they love due to pain entirely.
Have been injured by a dog at least once during their career.
Solo groomers lose $600+ per day — an average of six missed clients per injury day.
Salon owners face team-wide disruption when staff are sidelined by preventable strain.
Loyal clients walk away when consistent service is no longer possible due to injury.
Not clinical homework. 30–90 second resets 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 is a withdrawal. Every reset is a deposit. When balance is healthy you feel good and work well. When it's low, stiffness builds. Push into overdraft and pain affects your work — recovery costs more time, effort and “interest.”
“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 has been an incredible support through the GroomerReset program. She is genuinely keen to help, tenacious in finding solutions, and someone you can trust completely. Her practical approach makes learning easy, and she has a talent for turning complex concepts into simple, actionable steps.
Through GroomerReset, Noreen provides valuable tools to help groomers reduce physical strain, work more comfortably, and build healthier, longer-lasting careers. Her expertise and commitment make a real difference, and I would highly recommend her program to any groomer looking to improve their wellbeing and longevity in the industry.”
“I can't recommend Noreen enough! The exercises she teaches to help your body are simple and easy to follow. They have made such a big difference, and I can feel a significant improvement in my body. My staff and I now all take the time to do her exercises between our busy schedule to reset our bodies and I love knowing I am taking proactive steps to protect mine, and my staff's wellbeing.”
The first body maintenance programme built specifically for dog groomers — a self-paced video series with modules under 20 minutes. Resets you can run between dogs. No workouts, no equipment, no extra time.
Spot the strain, set up smart. Notice early warning signs and adjust table height, lighting, and tool placement so your body is supported.
Reset the right area. A 30–90 second routine targeting the joints under strain — lower back, wrists, shoulders, neck — between every dog.
Track what works. A 14-day check-in shows what's improving and where to focus next.
Noreen MacMahon is a physiotherapy-trained injury prevention specialist who has spent years watching groomers at work. She saw highly skilled professionals turning up with aching wrists, stiff backs, and sore shoulders — no practical guidance on how to protect themselves. By observing real grooming days up close, she mapped exactly when and where joints were being overloaded: the reach across the tub, twisting with the dryer, the lift onto the table.
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
