There can be many reasons for this, the most common being working in a fixed posture, especially for desk job workers. This often leads to muscle spasm and stiffness in upper back, neck and sometimes lead to pain at the back of the head (cervicogenic headache).
Next Steps
Physical therapy and ergonomic correction can help.
