Dr. G. Blair Lamb, MD. C.C.F.P.

Dr. G. Blair Lamb is a pain and rehabilitation specialist practicing in Oakville, Ontario, Canada. He began his career in the rehabilitation field when he suffered a series of accidents causing profound pain and loss of function of his spine and limbs. Current medical management was unsuccessful in remedying his pain and impairment. 

Fortunately, Dr. Lamb began his study of muscle dysfunction and scarring, studying "high-tech acupuncture" and soft tissue laser therapy. A complete recovery by Dr. Lamb was only possible once he completed his program of Resistance Stretching ®. 

He has treated hundreds of patients achieving amazing results where others have failed.
