Like most musculoskeletal pain issues, the root cause is most likely one of positioning. There are a bunch of muscles in and around the back of your neck, but the usual suspects are the upper trapezius, the levator scapulae, and the sternocleidomastoid.
Every centimeter your head comes forward significantly increases the strain on both your cervical vertebrae and the muscles that move them because you are putting them at a severe mechanical disadvantage.
