Audiology is the study of hearing, balance and other related disorders, Audiologists are experts in hearing loss and balance issues. They assist people experiencing hearing loss by offering them hearing aids and other technologies to enhance their communication ability.
When should I see an Audiologist?
If you experience sudden hearing loss, dizziness or vertigo you should visit the nearest Emergency department at the hospital to have a hearing test. After the test, you may be referred to an Ear, Nose and Throat specialist (ENT). An Audiologist can also provide this test, in addition to a number of other services including:
Counselling and Aural Rehabilitation
Assessments of hearing and auditory function, auditory processing function and neural function
Wax removal and management
Hearing protection such as plugs and hearing aids
Tinnitus rehabilitation
Vestibular (balance) function and rehabilitation
Communication training
Audiology at Promitto
Our organisation offers members the opportunity to undergo a hearing test as part of their assessment. We prioritise your health, strength, and balance, where hearing plays an integral role. Our audiologists are experienced, friendly, and ready to assist with any questions you may have.
It's worth noting that hearing and balance are closely linked, as there are inner ear components that significantly contribute to maintaining your equilibrium. You can find more detailed information on this important topic here!
At promitto we offer a variety of Exercise Classes designed for different difficulty levels to cater to individual needs and capabilities. These classes aim to exercise different parts of your body in different ways. Not to mention, it's fun to exercise as a group and can drive you to do better every time.
Exercising is crucial for maintaining strength and mobility, especially as we age. It's important to engage in various types of exercises that target different parts of the body, as simply walking is not sufficient for building strength and balance. Working on our muscles and core is essential for our overall strength and health.
What Exercise Classes do we offer?
Mat Pilates Classes Focus on improving overall body strength, stability and mobility through mat based exercises
Balance Classes Enhance stability and confidence through movement
Functional Fitness Classes Combine mixture of strength, core and balance to improve your general fitness that helps you engage in regular activities effectively
There will be more classes added in future, so be sure to keep up to date with our news articles and/or feel free to ask our Exercise Physiologists for upcoming classes.
Chiropractic adjustment is a specialised treatment in which chiropractors apply controlled, sudden force to specific areas of the spine, a technique known as spinal manipulation. They also examine and treat health conditions related to bones, muscles, and joints (musculoskeletal problems).
Your spine is the most important bone in your body. It keeps you upright, provides structure to your body, and enables you to move and flex around. You need to ensure it is looked after appropriately.
When should you see a Chiropractor?
If you have a spinal injury or low physical body function and movement.
Chiropractic care can help reduce the wear and tear of bones due to osteoarthritis.
To realign your spine to reduce pain and improve mobility.
To prevent future spine and back problems due to aging.
Initially you might find after a Chiropractic adjustment some soreness or tiredness. Some people even get mild headaches. However these side effects are only temporary, as the pros of visiting a Chiropractor vastly outweigh the temporary discomfort.
