Tap where it hurts: what can refer pain there appears, strongest overlap first. It is a shortlist to check, not a diagnosis. Tap one to see its pattern.
Tap a dot: that trigger point, its muscle and where it sends pain.
Search a muscle or organ to see it and all its points.

on the far side of the body
the muscle an opened trigger point is in
the bone it is fixed to, and where
where it ends in skin, the eyeball or the tongue
