What are these little hard “knots” that move around during massages?

227 views

Why is it, when I’m getting (or giving) a massage, that when you find the little hard bumps that seem to be the source of pain, they move? What exactly are these bumps and how can they seemingly move several inches?

According to my mom, massage therapist for many, many years, these are parts of the muscle that are constricted even when you are relaxing the muscle. Massage moves blood in and out of these areas, relaxing them.
