"My feet were killing... I stopped by to see Dr Saracina about another issue, and she asked me why I was limping. I told her arthritis and being on my feet too long. She promptly said "come here, lie down I think I can help." She used Rock Tape on both feet. They felt so much better the next day, and the pain was gone completely by day 3."
