The muscle and the place
Soleus, proximal part, lateral side of the calf
What the finger seeks
Patient position and palpation gesture are not specified beyond the retained locus: high, on the lateral side of the calf, under the gastrocnemius.
The retained material does not describe a palpation technique specific to this spot beyond the locus itself: a less common point, located high on the lateral side of the calf, under the gastrocnemius.

What pressure brings out
Pressure wakes a diffuse calf pain — its upper half, the back — that the person recognises; this spot is not linked to nocturnal calf cramps.
The pain gathers at the back of the calf, in its upper half, diffusely.
The authors give no spillover zone of its own for this spot; the projection to the sacroiliac joint described for the muscle comes from another place.

The technique
Invasive technique not publishable: the structured contract is incomplete.
Caution
No depth is published: the tenderness is met “deep, near the bone”, which names a backing (the fibula) but not a distance. No critical structure to avoid is cited here for this approach.
Convergence
This section requires a distance explicitly referencing this geometrically placed locus. A distance to its carrying muscle is never assigned to it.
no convergence calculated for this place
