How to fix pain in your patella (below your kneecap) tendon

so for most of this season ive had some mad pain in my patella tendon which is the tendon right below your knee cap connected your kneecap to your shin. so my parents signed me for a couple of sessions with a sports physiotherapist. The trick is to do 30-35sec of stretching almost every night on each of these muscles: hamstrings, quads, hip flexor, glutes (just search on the internet for stretches). so now im good as new and I can almost do sick straight leg dub true noses. I hope this helps some people.

stretching after a physical work out is almost more important than before the workout, thats what my physiotherapist says.

I got knowed up on some knee tendons today in my class. I'm considering making a "Be nice to your knees" guide, with some general info about ACL's, MCL's and other common ski related knee injuries, and some info on how to prevent them when you fall.
