There are occupational therapists who specialize in musicians’ injuries who work with hand/arm issues especially with professional and conservatory musicians. A thorough therapist with have musician bring instrument and demonstrate technique…finds physiological efficiency and alignment issues. For a singer, voice therapy approach augments issues of vocal hygiene and technique.

Overuse is abuse, regardless of efficiency and technical approach. This can be the dividing line between those who can do what it takes to accomplish professional level technique and those who cannot. Obviously the more easily and naturally technique is developed, the less damage and potentential for injury there will be.
