Beneath the point

Scapula · Supraspinatus muscle · Trapezius

Our 3D measurement · In our 3D model: on the vertical line through the midpoint of the scapular spine, halfway between the spine ridge and the upper border of the scapula (supraspinous fossa).

2How do I find it on my body?

Mark the middle of the scapular spine (the same mark used for SI11).
Press straight above it, in the hollow above the spine.
