The Sleep Management Group’s technicians love changing lives with a good night’s rest.
“I think that’s the marvellous thing about what we do,” says the company’s national business manager, Carolina Langbroek.
“It can make some really dramatic changes in patients’ lives.“
Ms Langbroek remembers one gentleman’s treatment with constant positive airway pressure (CPAP) that profoundly changed his waking hours.
“He was grumpy, he didn’t play with his children, his relationship with his wife was going down the drain and they were sleeping in different beds,” she says.
“The treatment made such a huge impact on his life and quality of life.
“His wife said, ‘it feels like you’ve done an exorcism on my husband. He is the man that I married again’.”
About 10 per cent of Australia’s population suffer from sleep apnoea and sleeping disorders, Ms Langbroek, says, costing billions of dollars in productivity.
“A lot of people still believe ongoing snoring is not a dangerous thing and you just have to live with it.
“Hopefully people will realise it’s not normal and do something about it.”
The Sleep Management Group opened its Moorabool centre in 2015 so Geelong residents can access its life-changing and sometimes life-saving treatments.
“Come chat to our Geelong technician Mia Trofimovs if you have any concerns about your sleep sleep,“ Ms Langbroek says.
The company works with independent sleep physicians to ensure its treatments are cutting-edge.
