Hi Chris,

For the type of loads that will be placed on your knee during landing etc. it is really important to have adequate strength in the Gluteals, Hamstrings and Quads. If you haven't already, I would get some to assess your movement and put together a really focussed strength program to improve strength in these areas. A Sport Rehabilitator / Sports Physio / Strength and Conditioning coach should be able to help you with this.

You will need to start with some straight-line control / stability exercises and then progress to more dynamic multi-directional work in order to prepare you for the stress of snowboarding / kiting.

The braces can sometimes be helpful as an aid, but there is nothing better than getting your body strong!

Hope this helps.
