Hi Sina,
Using the head cushion would be a great practice for you. It strengthens the deeper neck muscles, reminds and encourages you to lengthen your neck up again the weight of the cushion, and reinforces you to keep your head back and over your body rather that sticking it forward.
I advise you to begin by using it for just 30 seconds at a time, as your neck hasn't built up the strength to carry weight yet. After a few days, you can start using it for a minute a time. As your neck strengthens and you feel more confident and comfortable with the weight on your head, you can start using it for longer stretches.
