Unlike
many other eye doctors, Dr. Banker long recognized
that the health of the entire body, as well
as nutrition and attitude, have a great deal
to do with vision, energy of the body, and the
aging process. Every system in the body
contributes to vision in one way or another.
The eyes are one of the most sensitive barometers
for the overall health of the body. A
vision problem usually isn't just an eye problem.
other parts of the body - the heart, lungs,
liver, kidneys, and digestive tract may not
be functioning properly.

Dr.
Banker spent many years researching this subject
by exploring Western, Oriental and Wholistic
healing approaches. She works with people
individually and in group sessions, creating
a unique health plan, combining traditional
healing methods and cross-cultural exercises
for the eyes and body. These include Yoga,
Tai Chi, ballet, general toning, stretching
and breathing. The eye exercises used
originate from all over the world: Bates,
Ayurvedic, Tibetan, Chinese, Japanese, and classic
Western Orthoptics. Also employed to re-harmonize
the entire system are acupuncture, acupressure,
shiatsu, massage, kinesiology, polarity therapy,
reflexology, auricular therapy, hypnotherapy,
vibrational healing, manual energy transfer,
hot packs, body soaks and much more.
