Why does my forearm hurt playing piano?

Possible causes

Forearm tension (co-contraction) and overly forceful movements may over time lead to pain. As piano playing involves repetitive activity, often at speed and with force, professional pianists in particular are at risk of experiencing some arm or hand pain at some point in their career.

Does playing piano strengthen forearm?
