The muscle and the place
Middle trapezius, medial belly
What the finger seeks
The hand lies flat and rolls across the fibres, at mid-length; the muscle is too thin and too flattened to be lifted in a pincer grip.
Here the fibres run almost horizontally, from the spine towards the acromion: the band is followed across them, never along them.

What pressure brings out
The tender spot and the pain the person recognises remain the markers the work reports as steady; they are not peculiar to this portion of the muscle.

The technique
Invasive technique not publishable: the structured contract is incomplete.
Caution
Nothing is published about what pressure wakes here: the works speak of trapezius pain as a whole, never portion by portion.
Convergence
This section requires a distance explicitly referencing this geometrically placed locus. A distance to its carrying muscle is never assigned to it.
