Researchers have found that individuals who snore or have a sleep apnea disorder have an increased risk of being pre-diabetic (insulin resistant), of experiencing full-blown type 2 diabetes or cardiovascular disease. Sleep apnea is a disruptive disorder characterized by repeated episodes of fractional or complete stopping of breathing during sleep. This results in absence of airflow despite an effort to breathe.

This disorder is characterized by daytime sleepiness, snoring, repeated interruptions of breathing during sleep, arousal from sleep, hyperactivity, high blood pressure and morning headaches. Long-term victims may experience mood swings, obesity, and poor concentration. This condition is more common in overweight individuals and has been linked to increased risk of heart attack and stroke, diabetes and a pre-diabetic condition called insulin resistance.

Individuals who have sleep apnea or snore may be unaware of their condition. It sometimes becomes necessary for a family member or the bed partner to report any snoring or sleep apnea to the patient or to a health care professional. People with small airways in their noses, throats, or mouths also are more likely to have sleep apnea. Smaller airways can be due to the shape of these structures, allergies or other medical conditions that cause congestion in these areas.

Mobility Products | Mobility Aids


The major difference between us and any other online mobility aids shop out there is the hand-picked brands that we stand by. Well known brand names such as Invacare, Ausmedics and Pride: multi-national corporations that offer ultra-high quality with good parts support if needed. Don’t be fooled into buying cheep imports online only to find that they break weeks after use and cannot be fixed- all our products have met Australian Standards (and usually also CE too) and are hospital grade quality.

Our product range is very diverse. Our core items are those that aid your mobility on a daily basis, items such as wheelchairs, walking frames, bathroom aids and items that help you complete small day-to-day tasks. We are also experts in the field of obstructive sleep apnea: our range of CPAP and BIPAP machines give YOU the choice. We stock the best brands- Covidien, Respironics and Fisher Paykel- and know our products intimately. We can provide a great variety of face masks and can furnish you with a report to take to your GP or sleep specialist.
