Head Back, Chin In Exercise
The head back, chin in, exercise is excellent for stretching tight muscles and ligaments in the back of the neck.  Initially, the exercise can be done lying down...
and advanced to the sitting or standing position as you make progress.  If you work with your head and neck in a forward bent position it is good to do this exercise frequently to relieve stress and tension.

Backward Bending with Chin Tuck Exercise
Backward bending of the neck and upper back is especially helpful if you feel stiffness across the upper back and base of the neck.  Start doing this exercise lying down, lowering the head slowly with your hand...
and progress to the sitting position as you become more advanced.  This is another excellent exercise for you to do frequently throughout the day if the forward bent head and neck position is a necessary part of your work.  To concentrate the stretch to the upper back and lower neck, only do it with a chin tuck.
