Profile Photo of Jia Zhi Tay, Musculoskeletal & Spine Physiotherapist in Singapore

Ms Jia Zhi Tay, BSc (Hon), AHPC

BSc (Hon) in Physiotherapy (Ireland)
Polestar Pilates Rehabilitation Trained

Jia Zhi obtained her Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Physiotherapy from Trinity College Dublin and started her professional career at Tan Tock Seng Hospital in 2012. She has worked in all the various clinical teams before specialising in treating patients with musculoskeletal injuries and chronic pain. After five years, she came out to the private sector and has worked in two different clinics, with one being a Pilates-focused physiotherapy clinic. While there, she developed a strong interest in teaching Pilates to assist in rehabilitation. Being Polestar Pilates rehabilitation trained, she often incorporates Pilates exercises into her treatment session to help her patients achieve a stronger and pain-free body.

With more than 11 years of experience working with different types of patients ranging from adolescents to the elderly, and from high-performance to recreational athletes, Jia Zhi realised that they often present with movement and breathing dysfunctions that they are not aware of. Being an ex-competitive netball player herself, she also completely understands that no matter how minor an injury is, it will affect one’s performance during a game and increase the chances of re-injury if not properly rehabilitated. As such, Jia Zhi strongly believes in building mind and body awareness along with postural control and breathing patterns in her patients, perfectly incorporating her understanding of physiotherapy with Pilates.

In her spare time, she finds joy in her Pilates practice, spending time with animals, and seeing different parts of the world through travel.

    “Review for Jia Zhi

    Jia Zhi (JZ) from Milestone Physiotherapist is very experienced, knowledgeable, and friendly while still maintaining professionalism. I’ve been going to Jia Zhi regularly after I found out I had C5 neck slip disc in 2021. I used to wake up daily with severe neck pain for 9 months. An orthopedic specialist recommended Jia Zhi. After being treated by her on a regular basis for a year, I no longer have pain in my neck. She restored my quality of life and overall wellness. Something I’m immensely grateful for because I thought I had to live with the pain for the rest of my life. Her skilful analysis and methods of treatments also work well for my other problems areas such as from sitting long hours in-front of my computer. Jia Zhi is well-versed and passionate in her field of work which makes her a highly effective and trustworthy physiotherapist.”

    I have been seeing JZee for over 4 months now and I am VERY impressed with her expertise and knowledge. She pushes me to get the most out of each session but without letting me overdo it and she constantly checks that I am ok. She is also a very happy and bubbly person 😊

  • Chris Jong

    “JZ was great - went in with a slight backache, turned out it was because of years of bad habits with my left leg. Very methodical in the discovery process, effective exercises, but you have to be willing to put in the work as well”
