It is stretching of the stiff muscles at that body part. They are stiff due to your one side tilted sitting habits. When you play they get stretched and IMHO it's a good pain as it improves flexibility.
Next Steps
proper working atmosphere such that you are in a balanced posture plus stretching exercises
Health Tips
we can do a teleconsultation if you want

Hello,
A particular point pain, if at the centre of the spine could be disc, if it along either side of the spine, could be facet(side joint) of the spine.
It is hard to diagnose apart from a consultation. This could be online.
Next Steps
Till you have a consultation do not do the aggrevating activity.
Constant sitting could bring about stiffness of the spine, so take breaks every 40 minutes or so.
Health Tips
Would be happy to help if you need an online consult.
