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.”

  • Jun Jie Ng

I was very comfortable at the session and would highly recommend anyone seeking physiotherapy to consider having an appointment with her!”

  • Dhanya Nair

  • Melanie Grant

    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”

  • Dawn O'Dowd

    “Went to see JZ with a painful knee. She gave me a check up and exercises to do. I’m now running pain free. Highly recommend Milestone and JZ.”

  • Pearlyn Yap

    “Been seeing JZ for back issues for over 7 sessions and she has been the best physiotherapist I’ve seen. Very detailed and conscientious in her assessment, extremely professional and warm at the same time, and has given me very helpful advice and stretches to help alleviate my pain. I’d definitely highly recommend her anytime! :)”

  • Dira S

    "I have had the pleasure of consulting JZ multiple times for various injuries, and each time, her expertise has been invaluable in my recovery. Initially, I had somewhat a limited view of physiotherapy, assuming it was something I could figure out on my own by searching online or let my injuries to self heal. However, working with JZ completely changed my perspective. What I like and appreciate JZ for is her thorough approach in understanding the root cause of the issue rather than just addressing the symptoms. She takes time to explain and ensure that the treatment plan is easy to do yet effective. Her guidance has not only helped me recover from injuries but also prevented future ones!"

  • Christopher Cai

    "I can't recommend JZ highly enough! After struggling with injuries, JZ not only helped me recover but also equipped me with a deep understanding of how my body works. They taught me practical exercises that are easy to fit into my routine, ensuring that I stay injury-free in the future. JZ's approach is both professional and personal, making me feel confident in my recovery and long-term health. If you're looking for a physio who truly cares and gets results, JZ is the one!"
