hi,Linnea
i had 7 years of digital dystonia
now i study in paris
so forgive my spelling mistakes
in mu case,the solution to my fd is to avoid over-conscious
maybe you can check some breath advices of arnold jacobs,famous tuba player of cso
http://juliashornpage.com/ajnotes.html
some quotes:
Stabilize the sound, not the body
Little backpressure
Don’t stabilize the diaphragmatic and laryngeal regions, or else you may trigger the Valsalva Maneuver
Don’t breathe deeply according to body motion-just take in a lot of air
Don’t concentrate on the feelings of the tongue or chops
Always focus on the product, not the process (the sentence is the cure of my fd,i just focus on my sound,not my fingers)
One must simply release the air rather than pushing(so,we can avoid to pince the lips)

me:think about your jawbone and teeth for intervals,not the lips(small muscles,soft ,tired easily)
