Aisha Omar

I am Aisha Omar, a registered osteopath with a Master of Osteopathy (M.Ost) from the University College of Osteopathy.

I have a particular interest in chronic pain and rehabilitation. Alongside hands-on osteopathic treatment, I incorporate my training in APPI Clinical Pilates to help patients understand their pain, regain confidence in movement and get back to doing the things they enjoy.

Why did you become an Osteopath?

I’ve always wanted to work in sport and healthcare, but after fracturing my knee at 17 during my A-levels, I saw an osteopath who completely changed my perspective. Her knowledge of anatomy, hands-on treatment and rehabilitation inspired me, and within two sessions I knew osteopathy was the career I wanted to pursue.

What makes your job worthwhile?

Every patient who books an appointment has already taken the first step towards their recovery. The most rewarding part is seeing them realise they are the biggest part of that journey—regaining confidence, becoming more resilient, and achieving things they didn’t think were possible.

What is unique about how you work?

Every patient will receive clinical Pilates exercises from me. From scapular isolations to pelvic rocks, each exercise programme is tailored to your ability, condition and goals.

Who has influenced you most in your career as an Osteopath?

My family have been my biggest supporters from the very beginning, encouraging me throughout my studies. Professionally, my tutor and dissertation supervisor, Dr Danny Miller, has had the greatest influence on my approach to patient care. He taught me the importance of building genuine relationships with patients, listening to their experiences, and understanding how pain affects every aspect of their lives—not just the structures involved.

What is the piece of advice you give to your patients most often?

“Consistency beats intensity.” Small, regular steps are often more effective than doing too much too soon. Understanding your pain and building confidence in your body is a key part of recovery.

What do you enjoy doing when you are not at work?

Outside of work, you’ll usually find me in a Pilates class, trying out new cafés or travelling to run around after my nieces and nephew!
