🐾 **Wrist & Hand Reset #2: Flex → Extend**

Grooming keeps your hands and wrists working hard — often in the same positions for long periods.

This simple reset takes less than a minute and helps you move your wrist through its available range between dogs.

▶️ **Watch the video and follow along:**
Move your wrist forward into flexion and back into extension, comfortably and without forcing it.

Repeat **5–8 times**.

For the final **2 repetitions**, use your opposite hand to gently move a little further — **without pain**.

Try it between dogs, or whenever your hands are starting to feel stiff or overworked.

Small resets. Repeated often.

**Work Smarter. Groom Longer.**

Your hands work hard on every dog — but when do you give them a reset?

This is the **first GroomerReset wrist and hand reset** I recommend for breaking up the repeated gripping and sustained positions that build up during a grooming day.

It takes around 30 seconds.

▶️ Watch the video to see exactly how to do it.

Then try it before your next dog — and notice how your hand feels.

Save this Reel so you can come back to it during your grooming day.

Coming to NZ? Come and try this reset with me at Booth B4 in the Wellness Zone.

Your hands are your tools too. Are you looking after them?

TWISTING ISN'T THE PROBLEM -

⚠️THE PROBLEM IS WHERE YOU'RE TWISTING FROM⚠️

Your body is designed to turn. But when your feet stay planted and you repeatedly twist through your lower back—especially while leaning or reaching over a dog—that movement can add unnecessary strain across a full grooming day.

✅ Instead:

👣 Move your feet
↪️ Turn your feet, hips and shoulders together
🐕 Keep your chest facing the area you are working on

You do not need a big movement. A small step or pivot can help your whole body turn as one unit, rather than forcing the movement through your lumbar spine.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

👣 Move your feet
🎯 Face the work
🛡️ Protect your back

Have you got low back pain after grooming?

Hours of leaning forward, reaching across the table and working in one position can leave your lower back feeling stiff and sore.

This quick extension-in-standing reset helps you move in the opposite direction:

Place your hands on your hips, keep your knees relaxed and gently lean backwards as far as feels comfortable. Return to upright and repeat up to 10 times.

Try it:

- Between dogs
- After a long grooming session
- Whenever your back starts to feel stiff

Keep the movement comfortable and controlled—do not force it or hold the position.

Stop if it causes new or worsening pain down your leg, numbness, tingling or weakness, and seek appropriate health advice.

Upper Back and Shoulders aching?

Try the 30s Scapular Reset —
This is a quick between‑dog reset to help shoulders feel better.

Do the move SLOWLY; stop if pain increases. Remember when the stretch start to increase, it is time to relax - for a few seconds.

If you have ongoing shoulder concerns, check with your clinician first.

Which groomer do you think is more likely to finish the day with upper-back pain—**Groomer A or Groomer B?**

Watch the video before you decide. 👀

When you repeatedly bend through your spine to reach a dog, those small strains can build up over a full grooming day.

Instead:

✓ Bring the dog closer
✓ Bend from your hips—not your spine
✓ Keep your spine long as you work

Small posture changes can make a big difference to how your body feels at the end of the day.

**Comment A or B below—did you guess correctly?**
