At my boarding facility we do a large quantity of dogs every day, talking at least 10 to 20, perhaps more around holidays. Anyhow we buy equipment in bulk as to save money. That being said most of the equipment is cheap, regular Andis combs, hard plastic blue no name slicker brushes, and soft metal slicker brushes. My
area has been swelling lately, and aching badly while I brush, and especially comb. Do I need more ergonomic tools, or something different as far as techniques? I don't see where I'm doing anything funky, or different from other groomers. Oh I'm only 24, I do groom 6 days a week roughly 8 to 10 hours daily. I'm the bather, groomer, and brusher. I try stretching daily, and taking breaks frequently enough when I can. Here is how the swelling looks.
