I suspect that most read that as "toward the body", normally said as "UP the neck". But your further description could mean that frets 1 thru 5 or so have the problem. THAT is often caused by too-high nut slots, causing string deflection & stretching (higher pitch) when fretting. When you fret at 2, there should be minimal clearance between the string and fret 1.
Or I'm way off!
