Do neck exercises. Two types of neck exercises can help ease and prevent neck pain: gentle range-of-motion exercises and isometric exercises. Apply moist heat to the neck before performing the exercises. Each exercise should be done five times per session, three sessions per day. Range-of-motion exercises help stretch neck muscles.
Suture joints are one type of fibrous joint. They are the type of joint that connect the flat bones of the skull which meet in a tooth-like pattern. The fibrous tissue of these joints is continuous with the periosteum, and the joints are synarthroses (immovable).
Sutures allow the bones to move during the birth process. They act like an expansion joint, allowing the bone to enlarge evenly as the brain grows and the skull expands, resulting in a symmetrically shaped head. However, if any of the sutures close too early (fuse prematurely), there may be no growth in that area.
