Yes, it is the area that you touch yourself when you're very tired, and it is usual that hurt. There are also other muscles present in that area, such as the angle, or scapula elevator.
All of these muscles build up tension with activities such as continued use of the computer, hold the neck with the headset while we talk on the phone and we want to leave their hands free, we do activities with the arms as load weight, etc. it is also an area where the stress, the strain and emotional stress are converted to physical tension.
