Muscles that are tight [restricted] and stuck [adhesed] are not able to relax. Active Release Technique and Graston technique will help release the muscle tissue and decrease your pain.
Here are some things you can do to help
1. Decrease the impact...take frequent breaks and vary work routine
2. Improve your strength which will decrease the force of repetition to the muscles
3. Improve ergonomics of task [tool, furniture, position]
4. Increase rest and relaxation to muscles
Consult your doctor if pain or discomfort is more intense and more frequent.
