The muscle and the place
Middle trapezius, medial belly
What the finger seeks
The patient lies on the opposite side, the hand placed on the thigh or between the knees, to stabilize the scapula; the authors do not specify here a finer palpation gesture (flat, pincer) for this portion — that material (p. 289-291) does not fall within the scope harvested by the September 2 matrix.
The material retained by today's matrix does not describe fibre orientation or a band-search technique specific to this portion (p. 289-291, out of scope).

What pressure brings out
TrP 5 causes the patient to complain of a burning interscapular pain.

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.
