Surgery is a frightening experience and the thought of physical therapy following surgery can be unsettling as well. I had both knees and a hip replaced within a five year period. I discovered Mark Slaughter for PT for my second knee and hip replacement and couldn't have been more pleased. Mark and his professional staff at Fitness4Life Physical Therapy were encouraging and never pushed me beyond my physical limitations. As a result of an exceptional therapy experience, I have frequently recommend Mark to my friends.

Fyzical of Edwardsville is my “go to” spot for the best physical therapy care for me. Mark is extremely knowledgeable in his field, and actually makes physical therapy more fun than it otherwise would be. He’s not afraid to think outside the box in order to help you get better. He & Sharon have helped me rehab a painful hip, and now a broken elbow. I am thankful I found this clinic.

Many people get a break, sprain or twist once in their life, but how do you choose where you go afterwards? My name is Anna Brase; I go to EHS and I sprained my ankle the day before my freshman year started. It was awful and I had never experienced something like that before. I was an active person and didn’t want to hurt it more. I was in a cast for a week and a boot for 3 weeks. After, I knew I had to go to physical therapy, but where? I talked to some resources and I heard the name Mr. Mark Slaughter. He came highly recommended. My first day was great he taught me new exercises and motions to do with my ankle. I could barely stand on my ankle the first day. I continued to go every other day during the week and made great relationships with Mr. Slaughter and all the people in the work place. My ankle healed faster than I ever thought it would; everyday something new to do and everyday getting stronger. On my last day, honestly, I was upset I would miss everybody there, but my ankle was back to 100%! I remember on the last day being able to swing on the monkey bars and land with no problem. I would recommend that if you have to go to physical therapy Mr. Mark Slaughter is the one to go to, no matter your age. I can’t tell you how much he did for me. Thank you Mr. Mark Slaughter and your staff for everything!

I had a unique issue that was causing problems with my breathing. Initially, I was referred out to many different physicians (PCP, Neurosurgeon, Chiropractor, Pulmonologist, Cardiologist, Internist, and Orthopedic Physician). I also underwent a plethora of tests and bloodwork. As a heath care professional myself, I was beyond frustrated that no one could find an answer. I was told over and over again that "everything was fine". After about a year, I began seeing an orthopedic physician who also specialized in acupuncture. He tirelessly worked with me to discover that it was an issue with my abdominal muscles, which in turn were being affected by the position of my shoulder, my neck, and my posture. All of this was affecting my ability to get an adequate breath. While I was finishing up with acupuncture, my physician also recommended that I begin physical therapy to work on getting everything realigned and under control. This is where Fitness4Life PT came into my life. I had been to other physical therapy places in the past, with no success, but several friends had recommended that I go see Mark and his staff at Fitness4LifePT. I am so very thankful that I made my first appointment with them. Mark, Lisa, and Sharon were all amazing! And it was great to see interns there as well, learning from their expertise. On my initial assessment, Mark took the time to REALLY listen to what I had been going through over the past year. There was no doubting; he took all of that information and worked on a specialized plan to get me on my way to a healthier and happier me! My breathing issue dramatically improved! I worked with Lisa, Sharon, and Mark over a period of 6 months. If something wasn’t progressing or something wasn’t working,...

I first chose to go to Mark Slaughter for physical therapy for a pretty severe ankle injury. I showed up in an air cast that I was put in at the ER. Mark laughed, told me to never put that thing on again, and my therapy began immediately. His passion for getting people pain-free is evident in every exercise he has his patients do, in every conversation he has, in just his presence. I have gone to Mark and his staff for a variety of issues from my ankle injury to knee pain to tennis elbow, and my pain is quickly relieved through his therapy, at-home exercises, and caring approach to life in general. Mark and his staff are the best of the best! I have referred many to him, including my son, and will continue to only go to him for any needs in the future!

I thought I had a knee injury, and Mark pointed me to a good knee surgeon. It turned out I needed both knees replaced. Mark encouraged me to get both knees done at once. It was the best decision I could have made, including going to Mark and Sharon for my PT. They were excellent, and I recovered quickly... actually better than I've been in years. I enjoyed the Fyzical family and the relaxed atmosphere. THANKS for getting me back to good!

After suffering a back injury while exercising and not getting any relief with the measures I was taking, I decided to try physical therapy. My care with Mark and his staff at Fitness4Life Physical Therapy was fantastic. My consult was thorough and he knew exactly where my problem was and gave me several strategies and exercises to do immediately. His insight into my overall posture has not only helped my back to begin the healing process but has addressed other health issues I've had including planter's fasciitis and costochondritis.I use what I've learned through my PT with Mark and Sharon in my everyday movement patterns as well as when I workout.I have shifted my focus to realize that I need to do every rep as it is the only one and do it perfectly! I am trying to be patient with my recovery and realize that this is a way of life and it's all about maintenance and prevention! When I get discouraged, they are there to encourage me through the process.

Mark has helped me so much when it comes to learning about the body and how to properly use it. Whether it be with sports or just feeling good throughout the day, the knowledge he has shared with me is constantly in use throughout my day. I came to Mark when I injured my elbow and was diagnosed with tendinitis. The rehab I was doing wasn't working like I expected, so Mark offered to help me out. Thank God. After beginning workouts with Mark, my elbow began to heal properly, and my overall athleticism got much better. Without Mark, I honestly don't think I would have been able to come back 100% healthy for my senior year. So for that, I'm forever thankful! My only regret is that I didn't find out about Mark earlier. Throughout college, I've learned a lot about training. Almost all of the things I've found beneficial to becoming a better athlete somehow relate back to the principles I've learned from Mark. How to properly use your body shouldn't be a secret anymore. People of all ages in Edwardsville and the surrounding area really need to check Fitness4Life Physical Therapy out. You won't regret it!

Mark Slaughter is absolutely brilliant when it comes to figuring out what’s going on with your body when things quit working right or you need surgical recovery! He got me up & moving the same day I went to see him for back problems and plantars fasciitis after several visits to an ortho surgeon, a foot doctor and 2 chiropractors couldn’t seem to help me. Amazing! He’s down-to-earth, fun, easy to learn from and so genuine. He truly cares about making people the very best they can be! Mark is simply the best there is. Period.

I started seeing Mark for physical therapy early in 2012 for a shoulder problem. The exercises corrected the problem and that is part of my exercise program I do today. But at that time, I was exercising at a gym and over time hurt my elbow and knee. So late in 2012 I started exercising at Fitness4Life Physical Therapy. Mark set a program for me first working on lower body, not body building, but strengthening. He is a stickler for doing each exercise absolutely perfect. That's the help I needed. No shoulder, elbow or knee pain. Have been doing upper and lower body exercises 4 days a week for many years. Thanks Mark, you're the best.

Getting injured is no laughing matter, however the care I received at Fitness4Life Physical Therapy made recovery more bearable. Mark and his team, (including four little dogs), are caring, compassionate, knowledgeable, and somehow made therapy enjoyable.

After 5 months of procrastinating over an injured elbow that seemed not to be healing it was recommended I call Mark Slaughter at Fitness4Life Physical Therapy. Mark did an excellent job of diagnosing the injury, developed a thorough plan that reduced pain, improved mobility, strengthened the muscles surrounding the elbow, and allowed the torn tendon to heal. I highly recommend Mark and his staff. Great Job and Thanks!

I had crossed things off my list that I didn’t think my body could do due to overuse and injury. Mark proved me wrong and I have never been as strong and healthy as I am today. The techniques he has taught me (ALWAYS with proper form), I will carry with me forever. Getting to the gym isn’t a problem for me anymore…it’s leaving.

After spending almost 4 months on complete bedrest at Mercy Hospital for complications associated with my triplet pregnancy, I needed extensive therapy. At the time, I could not walk up stairs without sitting on each step and using my arms to assist me. My doctor recomended Mark Slaughter. She as well as other doctor friends, use him for their personal p.t. I went in for my initial visit and immeditely knew I was in great hands. They worked with me and my busy schedule of raising preemie triplets. Mark was one on one with me each visit using the latest techniques to ensure my full recovery. He makes it fun with his awesome personality and jokes. He always asked for updates on my triplets. Mark pours his heart into his patients to make sure they are at their best. He loves his job and helping others and it TRULY shows! The clinic is a fun atmosphere where you always feel welcome. I have referred my own family and friends to him numerous times. As for me, I now have the strength to enjoy normal activities thanks to Mark!

I came to see Mark at Fitness4Life Physical Therapy for physical therapy regarding a sciatic nerve issue. At the time my doctor hadn’t investigated my issue with an MRI so we didn’t exactly know what the real issue was and thought perhaps it was an injury from working out incorrectly. Mark showed me some simple exercises and made sure that my form was correct in order to help with rehabilitation. He also used the Astym technique to help as well. After each treatment using Astym therapy, I felt much better and I continued to do the exercises suggested by Mark. After six weeks, I was still feeling pain and Mark suggested that I go back to the doctor. After an MRI, I found out that I have a herniated disc and was told that having surgery would be the only way to alleviate the pain and that rehabilitation without surgery was unlikely. Due to not wanting back surgery, I continued to do the exercises that Mark taught me. In about three months I was actually feeling close to normal. After following the simple strategies that Mark showed me, I was able to not have surgery on my back. I am grateful that Mark was able to help! I highly recommend Fitness4Life Physical Therapy!
