WHY IS THE CORRECT USE OF YOUR SCISSORS IMPORTANT?
Scissors are usually held by their handle which has two fingers rests - one for the thumb, the other for the ring finger. Correct use of scissors allows for maximum control during grooming, which means groomer can show his professional maximum. It reduces or completely eliminates the negative effects that the grooming equipment can have on final presentation or on groomer’s health. Correct use of scissors also allows full control of the cutting edge and increases the stability of the inner side held by the rest of the palm.
Ergonometric is influenced by the anatomy of the human hand. The thumb is independently and directly connected to a single hand muscle (long muscle crook of the thumb) located on the forearm, and unlike the other fingers (with the exception of the little finger) it has its own hand muscle (short muscle crook) controlling its operations. All other fingers are connected to a single muscle (deep muscle crook) located on the forearm by a tendon.
Due to a large number of moves during an average 2-hour grooming, and throughout a 40-hour working week, the thumb is the least overloaded, as it has a muscle for itself while the remaining four fingers all share one.
Over time, the thumb muscle can be trained in to become flexible up to a point where its operations do not jeopardize the rest of the hand or body. At the same time, static position of the rest of the hand provides valuable support in operating the scissors; this reduces or eliminates unnecessary hand, shoulder and body strains. With custom made scissors from my Master Piece Collection - Sasha Riess Signature Line this entire process is transformed into a quick and pleasant one.
