Hello, I'm college amateur player in S.Korea. Currently I'm suffering from an embouchure dystonia which started about 2 months ago, I'm doing lip excercises(Dr. McGrail's Lip Exercises) and moithpiece practices and I'm using robinson's lip recovery cream but it doesn't seem it's getting better. It would be greatful if I could get any advice..

My symptom is similar to this video

Perhaps it's worth looking up the various articles and videos that David Vining has created, and his journey to overcome it.

I have my own methods of diagnosing the issues that lead to that situation, and then fixing the actual problems to make playing work efficiently again. Correct playing for your individual face is really important.
