Health is a state of health, both physically, mentally, spiritually and socially, which enables everyone to live a productive life socially and economically. Public health is a condition that describes the level of health that occurs in society. Society is a group of individuals who live together, work together to obtain common interests and have an order of life, norms and customs that are adhered to in their environment. Public Health is a part of science that discusses and studies the prevention and treatment of disease in each individual. Physiotherapy as a health worker plays a very important role and must have the ability to maximize the potential for movement and function within the promotive, preventive, curative and rehabilitative scope. Therefore, it is proof that physiotherapy not only plays a curative and rehabilitative role but also plays a big preventive role. Nape pain or neck pain is generally not a serious condition that needs to be watched out for. This condition can heal in a few days or weeks without special treatment. However, neck pain can also occur due to certain diseases. Bending over, looking down for too long, often gritting your teeth, or reading in bed, using a cell phone for a long time can cause the neck muscles to become tense. Over time, this condition will cause Kornik's neck pain, which is a myofascial condition. Smartphones are a real manifestation of technological progress and are devices that work very complexly with access to the internet, social media and games. Excessive smartphone use can cause musculoskeletal disorders. Musculoskeletal disorders associated with smartphone use cause neck muscle fatigue caused by poor posture. Using smartphones for a long time can cause muscle tension. Apart from using smartphones, household activities can also cause neck pain such as ironing and washing. Providing exercise therapy in the form of Free Active Movement can reduce complaints of neck pain.

This study investigates the intrinsic relationship between mathematics and classical music by analyzing harmonic patterns in compositions of renowned composers such as Bach, Mozart, and and Beethoven. The research employs an analytical quantitative approach, using statistical tools to map and identify numerical ratios within musical intervals and the relationships between chords. Data were collected from selected musical works to examine interval structures and harmonic progression patterns. Findings reveal that classical music exhibits consistent mathematical patterns, including the octave (2:1), perfect fifth (3:2), and other proportional relationships that form the basis of chord construction and harmonic coherence. These patterns demonstrate that mathematical principles are inherently embedded in musical compositions, allowing for an objective analysis of music structure without diminishing its aesthetic and emotional value. Furthermore, the study highlights the value of an interdisciplinary perspective, combining quantitative analysis with traditional music aesthetics, which provides new insights into understanding compositional techniques and creativity. The results also suggest that recognizing mathematical structures in music can contribute to a deeper understanding of music theory and education, enhancing how students and scholars approach musical analysis. Overall, this research emphasizes that integrating mathematical and artistic perspectives not only supports the scientific study of music but also encourages a holistic appreciation of the creative process, bridging the gap between art and science while offering practical implications for music pedagogy, theory, and performance studies.
