It's amazing how well a good massage feels, for about 2 hours afterwards. Then, it hurts for about 6 hours. So, be careful with deep massages. Also, the idea of relaxation drills and a neck strap together to relieve the stress off your hand/wrist/arm will go a long way. Some folks play their soprano clarinets supported on their knees while seated. It's a good temporary trick to help relieve muscle stress, especially in the right hand. Work up difficult passages slowly up to full speed, one measure at a time. Last, take time to take a break, especially with intense practice. You are working tired muscles very hard, so give them and give yourself a break.
