MoveFree Physiotherapy @ Paya Lebar Square is the Paya Lebar branch of a Singapore physiotherapy and podiatry group with six clinics across the island, located at #B1-20 Paya Lebar Square on 60 Paya Lebar Road. The clinic helps people find freedom from musculoskeletal pain and sports injuries through a team of skilled multidisciplinary therapists committed to delivering the highest standard of care tailored to each patient.
Its services span injury management, pain management, sports physiotherapy, post-operative rehabilitation, women's health physiotherapy and geriatric rehabilitation with fall prevention, supported by programmes in clinical massage, corporate health and ergonomics, and functional wellness. A long treatment list — from manual therapy, joint manipulation and exercise therapy to shock wave, ultrasound, cold laser and short wave diathermy — lets therapists match the right tool to the problem.
Trusted by numerous orthopaedic specialists, the clinic takes a patient-centred approach, collaborating closely with patients on effective plans and ongoing support, with podiatrists and physiotherapists working hand in hand for holistic care. Consultation hours vary by day and the clinic is closed on Sundays; appointments can be made by phone, WhatsApp/SMS or email.
MoveFree Physiotherapy @ Paya Lebar Square is the Paya Lebar branch of a Singapore physiotherapy and podiatry group with six clinics across the island. From its unit at #B1-20 Paya Lebar Square on 60 Paya Lebar Road, the clinic brings the group's central promise — freedom from musculoskeletal pain and sports injuries — to the heart of Geylang and Singapore's east.
The group, which also runs clinics in Novena, Marine Parade, Tanjong Pagar, Kovan and Orchard, delivers therapy through a team of skilled multidisciplinary therapists committed to the highest standard of care tailored to each patient's needs. One point the clinic is clearly proud of: it is trusted by numerous orthopaedic specialists, who rely on MoveFree's expertise to support their patients' orthopaedic care. That surgeon-level trust shows up in patient reviews too — one knee patient, Thea Goh, says she was recommended Principal Physiotherapist Judee by an orthopaedic surgeon and calls her the best physiotherapist she has seen to date.
The service menu is broad. Injury management covers musculoskeletal injuries with experienced physiotherapists using advanced techniques for effective recovery. Pain management focuses on easing chronic and acute pain through manual therapy, exercise programmes and advanced modalities. Sports physiotherapy caters to athletes of all levels, offering injury prevention, performance enhancement and rehabilitation designed for a quick return to sport.
There is also post-operative rehabilitation, with individualised plans that rebuild strength, flexibility and mobility after surgery, and women's health physiotherapy addressing pelvic floor dysfunction, prenatal and postnatal care and menopausal symptoms with personalised treatment plans. Older adults are looked after through geriatric rehabilitation and fall prevention, which works on strength, balance and mobility to reduce fall risk and maintain independence. A principal paediatric physiotherapist on the wider team means children are catered for too.
Beyond one-to-one physiotherapy, the clinic's road to recovery includes clinical massage by registered therapists to improve healing, circulation and joint and muscle function; corporate health and ergonomics programmes that help companies boost productivity and prevent work-related musculoskeletal disorders; and functional wellness combining pilates, weight management and core stability training.
MoveFree's treatment list is unusually deep for a neighbourhood clinic. Hands-on options include manual therapy, joint manipulation, soft tissue release and cranio sacral therapy — a gentle manipulation of the skull and spine used to relieve pain and tension. Exercise therapy delivers customised plans to strengthen the body and reduce pain, while taping provides supportive stabilisation for affected areas.
Technology plays a big role too. Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) sends high-energy pulses into deep tissue to promote healing and relieve pain; ultrasound therapy uses sound waves to promote tissue healing and reduce inflammation; short wave diathermy applies high-frequency electromagnetic therapy to enhance blood flow; and cold laser therapy uses low-level laser light to stimulate healing in targeted areas. The clinic also offers the Super Inductive System (SIS), and gait analysis — described by the team as a crucial tool for understanding the biomechanical intricacies of walking and running — is a favourite among runners.
The Paya Lebar clinic draws on a large team headed by Chief Physiotherapist Anand Sivayogam. It includes Senior Principal Physiotherapist Char Ling, Principal Physiotherapists Judee, Gin, Isaac and Derek, Principal Sports Physiotherapist June, Senior Physiotherapists Ryno, Johnson and Gene, Physiotherapist Li Hong, and Principal Paediatric Physiotherapist Melanie. Reviews give a sense of the experience: one patient who tore two ankle ligaments playing tennis completed a three-month recovery programme with Anand and came away not just healed but better educated about body structure, stability and flexibility; another, Li Chen, has managed long-term back and spine issues with Anand since MoveFree first opened at Royal Square @ Novena.

First-timers can expect a thorough assessment: a review of medical history, range of motion, strength and functional abilities, followed by a personalised treatment plan. Wear comfortable clothing that allows easy movement, and bring any relevant medical records or imaging reports. A doctor's referral is usually not required, though some insurers ask for one to approve claims — worth checking before your visit.
