Name of Acupoint between LI16-17 and GB21-22?

[Guest guest]

Perhaps you are talking about extra point " Di Jia " ? I was introduced to this

point name at Matt Callison's neck/shoulder workshop... have also found it

extremely useful for neck pain & TOS patients.

 

According to Callison's " Motor Point Index " book, Di Jia is 1 cun posterior

and superior to SI16. It is used to release the Middle or Posterior Scalene,

or the Levator Scapula, depending on needling direction. There is also

another extra point nearby called " Jing Bi " 0.5 lateral to LI17 which can be

used to release the Anterior Scalene.

I failed to locate the name of this acupoint (probably a New /

Strange / Extra Point).

 

Can you help?

I'm at a loss as to where this could be. It doesn't make sense.
