About Tan Yi Roe, Principal TCM Physician

Practicing from Orchard and Tanjong Pagar · English and Mandarin · TCMPB registered (T1102830D)

  • Bachelor of Medicine in Chinese Medicine, Beijing University of Chinese Medicine
  • BSc (First Class Honours) in Biomedical Sciences, Nanyang Technological University
  • Registered TCM Physician, Singapore TCM Practitioners Board, T1102830D

If sciatica or knee pain has been wearing you down, this is the work I have done since 2011. Around 300 cases of nerve and knee pain, treated with acupuncture and herbal medicine.

Most of my patients do not start with TCM. They come to it later, often a little sceptical. I understand that better than most, because I trained as a scientist before I trained in Chinese medicine. I took a First Class Honours degree in Biomedical Sciences at NTU, then a Bachelor of Medicine in Chinese Medicine at Beijing University of Chinese Medicine.

Scepticism does not bother me. It is a reasonable starting position, and I would rather you hold it than pretend otherwise.

How this became my work.

I am an active person and I play all kinds of sports, so pain that stops movement has always had my attention. I began my career at a non-profit TCM organization, where most of my patients were elderly people living with lower back pain, sciatica and knee pain. Years of that work taught me how these conditions behave over time.

Sometimes the pain is not coming from where it hurts. Assessment in Chinese medicine looks at the whole person rather than the sore spot alone, which is often what changes the plan.

What I treat

  • Sciatica and nerve pain
  • Knee pain
  • Frozen shoulder
  • Long-standing pain that has not settled

I also see patients for women’s health, digestive and wellness concerns through TCM. My treatments include acupuncture, cupping, moxibustion and herbal medicine.

Core skills

  • Acupuncture
  • Cupping
  • TCM herbal medicine
  • Moxibustion

Where this sits

This work runs alongside the clinical rehabilitation rather than in place of it. TCM covers what I do, and the physiotherapists and hand therapists I work beside are here. Their plans run on the Phoenix Recovery Protocol.

Tan Yi Roe is registered with the Singapore TCM Practitioners Board as a TCM Physician (T1102830D). Last reviewed 6 October 2026. TCM at Phoenix Rehab runs alongside physiotherapy and hand therapy and is not a substitute for medical assessment.

Amazing experience with Phoenix Rehab, was assisted by Mavis. She’s very kind and professional and did thorough check on my wrist. I feel very comfortable during the process. I went in for thermoplastic splint, and everything went smoothly. She was able to address my needs on my left wrist sprain. They were prompt with appointment process and inquiry. Also the clinic is very close to Tanjong Pagar MRT. I highly recommend!

Great treatment from my therapist. My painful wrist felt a lot of relief after the session. I’m glad I can slowly get back to doing my usual activities without constant pain.

I wasn’t able to close my fingers due to an injury. Nurul at Phoenix Rehab has helped me tremendously with my recovery process. I have been able to resume my daily activities and exercises after only a few sessions. Nurul has been very professional and positive throughout the entire process. Thank you so much for your help!

Huge shoutout to Yuna Zhang from Phoenix Rehab for helping in my recovery from golfer’s elbow 🙌 I walked in with persistent elbow pain that was affecting workouts and everyday tasks, and Yuna immediately made me feel confident I was in the right hands. She took the time to properly assess my condition, explain the root cause, and tailor a treatment plan to my specific needs instead of using a one-size-fits-all approach. What I really appreciated was how personalised every session felt. The exercises she gave me were practical, easy to follow, and actually worked. Within a short time, the pain reduced significantly and my strength and mobility improved much faster than I expected. On top of that, the pricing is very reasonable and affordable, which made committing to recovery much easier. Professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring — highly recommend Yuna at Phoenix Rehab if you’re dealing with hand-related sports injuries 💪
