Best Answer

they're little bits of muscle that release an adhesive molecule so that the bits of muscle stick together and form "knots". usually from bad posture/overuse/that kind of thing. the muscle i think you're talking about is the upper trapezius. it's nothing to worry about, but massages are great for it, albeit a little painful at the time.
