Physical Therapist Pickerington Ohio
Our Story.
At Pick Health & Performance, our mission is clear: support current and former athletes to overcome pain, boost performance, and thrive in every aspect of life — on or off the field.
We go beyond only treating symptoms. We work to make sure your body moves well so you can perform your best when it matters most.
Say goodbye to ineffective, one-size-fits-all methods.
Join us for real results and start feeling like an athlete again.
The PHP Difference:
Founded by a physical therapist with knowledge and experience in Strength and Conditioning, Olympic Weightlifting, and Sports Performance; we go beyond just the quick fix, taking the time to perform a thorough evaluation and movement assessment to determine the underlying dysfunctions that lead to injury- not just what structure is causing you pain.
This allows us to give you the tools to enhance your body’s performance and correct the issue so it never returns.
At PHP, you will always spend 100% of your time with your Doctor of Physical Therapy. Our standard is a 1:1 ratio of patients to doctors, with highly individualized patient care, unlike the traditional model, where it is typically a 4:1 (or more!) ratio.
Here at PHP, we believe that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. This means that we would much rather focus on pre-screening, prevention, and diagnosis of impairments as well as maintenance of general health and wellness, rather than be reactive to injury.
Our goal is to make physical therapy accessible and approachable to the community by becoming the leading providers of choice by bridging the gap between injury prevention, movement optimization, rehabilitative and wellness services, and athletics.
Whether you are an athlete progressing towards peak performance, or simply want to eliminate a nagging pain so that you can enjoy an active lifestyle once again, PHP is here to help you return to pain-free movement, optimize your body’s movement and performance, and smash your goals!
Humans are designed to move, and move well. As a team, we can make that happen.
Are you ready to get back to the life you love?
Our Promise To You:
At PHP, we promise…
To value your time
You'll be seen on time, every time.
To be 100% transparent
You will never get a surprise bill from us 3 months later, as is very common with other physical therapy practices.
To provide one-on-one care for the full visit, every visit.
You will be taken through your unique, individualized plan of care directly by your doctor, not a rehab tech in college or front desk personnel.
To educate you
Our experts give you the knowledge to take an active role in your health and life.
Meet Your Doctor of Physical Therapy:
Dr. Tony Farina PT, MS, CSCS
Growing up as an athlete, weight training for sports looked a lot different then.
We had old, smelly weight rooms with rusty equipment, and we just lifted heavy weights without really knowing what we were doing. We hoped it would make us better at our sport, but there was no one to show us the right way or make a plan for our training year round.
Luckily, things have changed a lot for athletes today.
About 14 years ago, I learned a better way to train for sports. I saw how having a good coach and proper training could help athletes not only physically but also mentally and socially.
What began as an internship to learn about getting athletes stronger and faster, quickly became a passion. A desire to learn the intricacies of sports performance training so athletes could be their best.
After my internship, I worked as a sports performance coach for many years. I've had the opportunity to work with athletes of all levels. From youth sports through to college level, and beyond to professional and Olympic Athletes.
I saw how quality training could make a big difference in an athlete's life and career. But there was something missing.
Athletes get injured. It’s an unfortunate reality. Training is an important part of athletic development. But when injuries happen, things need to change. I was able to successfully work around injuries and continue to help athletes get stronger while recovering.
However, I had a desire to learn more. Rather than working around an injury, I wanted to address it head on and guide the athlete’s rehab process. So I became a doctor of physical therapy.
Then in 2017, I founded Pick Health & Performance (PHP) with the mission to combine my experiences in sports performance and sports medicine to bring athletes the highest quality training and rehab that they truly need.
While I continue to work with professional sports, I shifted my focus to where I could make a big impact.
Helping current and former athletes build a solid foundation that will carry them through their athletic career and life.
At PHP, I am dedicated to bringing the best training and rehab to current and former athletes so they can reach their full potential.
