Neck Flexion exercise hurts the back of my neck

I've started doing next flexion work to help with my forward head posture. I usually hang my head off the end of my bed and do neck curls with my chin tucked - its a well recommend exercise for improving the muscle strength at the front of my neck.

Only issue being, I get pain at the back of my neck almost where my suboccipitals are. Wondered whether this is normal?

I cant tell whether the exercise is stretching the overly tight muscles at the back of the head or whether they're kicking in due to the weak muscles at the front.

Has anyone dealt with this before?
