This is not a traditional fitness or physiotherapy internship. You will help translate exercise science, movement therapy, injury prevention, and rehabilitation knowledge into structured intelligence that powers NURY’s AI-driven fitness and physiotherapy recommendations.

About NURY
NURY is building a voice-first intelligent health app for personalized fitness, nutrition, and preventive wellness, considering different chronic health issues, women’s health needs, lifestyle patterns, and regional accessibility.
Our goal is to make health guidance simple, culturally relevant, safe, and accessible across languages, regions, body types, fitness levels, health conditions, and lifestyles.

Role Overview
We are looking for a Fitness & Physiotherapy Data Intern to help build NURY’s structured fitness, movement, and physiotherapy intelligence layer.
You will collect, validate, and structure exercise, mobility, rehabilitation, posture, pain-management, and training data to support intelligent personalized recommendations for users with different goals, limitations, fitness levels, and health contexts.

Key Responsibilities
Research and structure fitness exercises, physiotherapy movements, mobility drills, warm-ups, cool-downs, stretching routines, strengthening exercises, and rehabilitation protocols.
Map exercises by body part, muscle group, joint movement, difficulty level, equipment needs, training goal, and user fitness level.
Classify exercises as recommended, limited, modified, or avoid based on user context, pain level, injury history, pregnancy status, obesity, PCOS, diabetes risk, hypertension, thyroid imbalance, posture issues, and mobility restrictions.
Create structured datasets for strength training, cardio, mobility, flexibility, balance, functional fitness, posture correction, injury prevention, and physiotherapy-focused movement.
Analyse exercise suitability for common conditions such as lower back pain, knee pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, ankle instability, poor posture, obesity, sedentary lifestyle, postnatal recovery, PCOS, diabetes risk, and high blood pressure.
Suggest safer exercise alternatives and progressions or regressions based on pain, ability, equipment, age group, and fitness level.
Support cycle-aware fitness mapping, including exercise recommendations for menstrual, follicular, ovulation, and luteal phases.
Help create beginner-friendly, intermediate, and advanced workout structures for home, gym, outdoor, and low-equipment environments.
Validate exercise and physiotherapy claims using credible sources and ensure all recommendations are safe, non-medical, and culturally sensitive.
Support the creation of AI-ready fitness rules, movement suitability matrices, exercise tagging systems, and structured physiotherapy knowledge databases.
