Muscular tension. There can be many causes to it:

a) A bad posture. This is a frequent problem in people who work at the pc, and in professional musicians or sportspeople. Remaining in the same posture for a long time, if it is an unnatural and tense one, builds up the tension in your muscles until it becomes painful.

b) Overstraining of body parts. People who carry heavy loads or make a lot of physical effort will accumulate tension in their muscles, too.

c) Psychological and emotional stress.

There are several things you can do about it:

a) Check whether your posture is relaxed and healthy (there is lots of literature about this), identify your bad posture habits and change them consciously.

b) If you work in an office in front of a pc, get up from time to time and stretch. Don't exaggerate your working schedule. There must be time left for yourself in the day.

c) Exercise! Do gentle warm ups and stretching excercises to soften your muscles, then strengthen through training (swimming and yoga are supposed to be very good).

d)  Try to be more relaxed emotionally. That is easier said than done, because we behave according to behavioral patterns that are often unconscious. Meditation ist good, or simply doing stuff you enjoy (give yourself a break). Introduce things to your life that make you feel good, and eliminate those which do the contrary.

e) Don't swallow your anger. When there is something that pisses you off, express it. Don't keep it to yourself, because that will literally "put weight on your shoulders".

f) Get enough sleep. You're not a robot, your body and your psyche need to recharge power in order to function. Never underestimate the value of rest.

I hope this was of some help.
