About Imogen Nicholson

Imogen Nicholson is an Accredited Exercise Physiologist and Exercise Scientist based in Brisbane, dedicated to helping individuals of all ages and health backgrounds move well and improve their overall health and wellbeing.

Imogen graduated from Queensland University of Technology and brings a broad clinical skill set to her role at MedSurg Weight Loss. She takes an individualised and evidence-based approach, ensuring each client receives a tailored exercise plan aligned with their medical history, goals, and lifestyle. Her focus is on building long-term strength, resilience, and sustainable health outcomes.

Imogen is also a certified Pilates instructor, incorporating Pilates principles into her clinical practice where appropriate, supporting improved core control, mobility, and overall movement quality.

Women's Health & Menopause

Imogen has a strong interest in women’s health, including exercise support during perimenopause and menopause and the management of hormonal-related changes. She understands that hormonal shifts during these life stages can significantly affect muscle mass, bone density, insulin sensitivity, and fat distribution — and that the right exercise approach can make a meaningful difference.

Imogen has shared her expertise on topics including osteoporosis, eating disorders and bone health in public forums, and contributes her exercise physiology perspective on protecting muscle and bone health during weight loss as part of the MedSurg multidisciplinary team.

She is passionate about ensuring patients using weight loss medications receive appropriate exercise support alongside their treatment — recognising that without structured exercise guidance, a significant proportion of weight loss can come from lean muscle mass, with long-term consequences for strength, metabolic health, and independence.

Pelvic Health & Hypermobility

Imogen has a particular interest in pelvic health and related conditions, including pelvic floor dysfunction, diastasis recti (DRAM), and incontinence. She also works with individuals living with hypermobility conditions, including Ehlers–Danlos syndrome, providing tailored exercise programs designed to improve strength, joint stability, function, and confidence with movement.

We know starting exercise can feel daunting, especially with pain, injuries, or medical concerns. Imogen’s aim is to make you feel safe, supported, and confident as you reintroduce movement — one step at a time.

Working as Part of the MedSurg Team

Imogen works closely alongside MedSurg’s doctors, dietitians, and psychologists to ensure each patient’s exercise plan is holistic, personalised, and aligned with their broader care goals. She has contributed to MedSurg’s educational events for health professionals, including presenting on exercise considerations during a weight loss journey at a World Obesity Day event for GPs and allied health clinicians.
Whether you are managing weight, navigating hormonal changes, recovering from bariatric surgery, or managing a chronic condition, Imogen provides structured, evidence-based exercise programs designed for safety, sustainability, and measurable outcomes.
