I've suffered from similar problems and I found that I was gripping the bars too tight. When I was really on it in the twisties I was concentrating that hard that I had a death grip on the bars. You may find you're doing a similar thing when your concentrating hard off road. You have to make a consious effort to remember to relax and loosen your grip. Off road this will also let the front wheel do it's thing and as a gnarly old GS rider in Sweden told me
"just let the front wheel dance" he also told me to double my speed! Life was so much easier on gravel at 80kph with the front wheel "dancing".
