Very wise advice, Bartmann. My own teacher played very little clarinet by the time I graduated high school due to jaw problems but threw himself enthusiastically into the recorder and the lovely harpsichord he had in his living room. I am not a doctor myself, but my impression is that when a sports orthopedist or other type of doctor sees a patient with activity related health problems, the patient usually comes in asking, more or less, "how can I get my body to do this activity?" The challenge for doctor and patient is to turn the question around and ask "how has my activity contributed to the problem I am having and how can I adjust the activities I am doing and the way I am doing them so that my body can be healthy in the long run?" This is especially crucial when the person is so young.
