Despite the name, forward head posture, it is actually the neck that is forward whilst the head is back and down in relation to the neck. It's cause is a narrowing of your attention into your computer screen/smartphone/book etc. you physically go where your attention goes.
It's made worse by the muscles of the neck tightening (like in the startle reflex) as a reaction to stress causing your head to be pulled back and down. In other words, it's more of a mental issue than a physical issue and resolved by widening your awareness of the space around you, especially above and behind.
