As with treating children of older ages, the care for infants that Dr. Hallawell provides is extremely gentle and non-invasive. Simple pressure with fingertips along the spine is enough to address structural needs of babies.

Kinesiology (muscle testing) techniques such as TBM are very effective with infants.  Dr. Hallawell has the infant's parent or caregiver hold the child, while the muscle testing is done on the adult. This is called "indirect testing" and is based on simple principles. When we touch another person we transmit electrical energy just like wires touching each other. You may be aware that if you were to touch an electric wire while touching someone else, that the electricity would flow into them.  Using the same principle, it is possible to test and treat an infant by muscle testing the adult holding the child.  Infants usually respond very quickly to care.
