That's a good question. There's other pressure points as well that should work just as well. For me, massaging between the thumb/finger worked just as well and it's more accessible. But yeah, that's a very good question. I mean you *should* be able to access the muscle to get the knot out ; maybe you could go at it from the opposite: push your chest forward and shoulders back. then pull your elbows straight down as if you were trying to shoot an aircraft out of the sky with your chest. [best way I can think of to describe the movement] It's a stretch that seems to unravel the knot in that muscle spot, at least for me.
