Jerome Lowenthal, the pianist and pedagogue has focal distonia, and speaks about it in his teaching. Opera singers get vocal nodes from incorrect use or overuse of the vocal chords... musicians often turn to Pilates, Feldenkreis, or other techniques- but mostly it is about finding the posture that is the most natural and the motion that is most efficient. Cellists have special orchestral chairs, and violinists use better and better chin and shoulder rests these days- all in service to this.
