I currently play hockey for Oxford Hawks but thought I would have to go through the season taking painkillers for games and take some weekends off from playing – I need a knee replacement!  Pollyanna, at Lightspeed Sports Recovery, has been taping my knee for games with Rocktape. I didn’t think it would help but I have been surprised by how little pain I have felt during and after games; it’s not until I take the tape off that I get any pain.
