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. This has been great and has allowed me to play each week and help my team to become league division champions.  Pollyanna’s ability to apply the tape and give me management advice has been great and she supplies some awesome colour options.  Currently rocking the rainbow pattern.
