Mark Slaughter was very important in the rehabilitation and advancement of my athleticism when recovering from injury. Mark knows so much about the body and sports, which makes him a great asset to know. At Fitness4Life Physical Therapy I know I can go to Mark with any questions or needs and get them answered in one visit. I would recommend Mark to not just athletes, but anyone that develops an injury and is seeking rehabilitation or just wants to get stronger.

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.

Mark helped me rehabilitate after 4 shoulder surgeries. I couldn't ask for better care that what I got from Mark and the rest of the staff. He is very encouraging, supportive, and knowledgeable in all aspects of physical therapy. He doesn't hesitate to scold you when you do something wrong, either. I wouldn't consider going anywhere else should I need any type of physical therapy in the future.

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 came to Mark not knowing if he could help me with my chronic hip pain. After he did a thorough evaluation, he immediately saw that my stance/walking/sitting and getting up were all wrong and he went about to improve these everyday positions/movements right away with several exercises aimed at strengthening the core especially the glutes. This reduced my limping and some of the pain that I was experiencing. Later when he introduced some new exercises which involved weight-bearing on my affected leg and I couldn't tolerate them, he could see that this was not normal and referred me back to my doctor which I really appreciate. I may end up needing surgery but I am so glad I did this stint of physical therapy with Mark because I'm stronger and I've learned better body mechanics which as a nurse, I really need. And, in case I need surgery, I'm sure that I'll recovery that much better. I have told so many people about Mark. He has a keen eye and is quick to share it with you and he is always so encouraging. Lastly, he, Pat and Sharon have created an atmosphere in their studio which is so friendly and relaxed -- it was a pleasure to be there. Thank you, Mark!

I remember the first day I walked into physical therapy with a full neck and back brace. Fourteen broken bones (8 vertebrae, 5 ribs and a collar bone) and still recovering from a c-section, I knew the biggest challenge was ahead of me. Mark was there from the moment he saw me. He became my foundation over the next two and half years of treatment. Mark’s therapy program is like no other as he understands and treats the mind, the body and the soul. His personal connection with all his patients shines through physically, mentally and emotionally. As a brand new mom, Mark and his staff welcomed my new baby as she spent 3 days a week the first year of her life in therapy with her mom. I truly become part of a bigger family when I joined Mark’s program and that was the support I needed. The atmosphere is extremely positive, encouraging and welcoming. And the results! Well, that is just simply amazing. I remember the first day the neck brace was removed. I had zero ability to turn my head. I sat in a chair without the brace for a couple minutes and I was completely wiped out for the rest of the day and had to go home and sleep. This was the starting point yet Mark never felt defeated. My road to recovery with Mark was a journey but it was a positive journey that brought me back to normal life skills and functions. I was able to hold my baby again, I learned how to drive again, I was able to go back to work full time and the pain kept improving. When doctors said there was nothing more to do, Mark never stopped treating and I am so thankful that he...

Eighteen years ago I broke my back. Sounds awful, I know. The great news is that after that injury I was lucky enough to meet Mark Slaughter. As my physical therapist Mark listened to me and learned about my injury and cared enough also to understand my limitations. Fast forward 11 years and another injury. Again I chose Mark as my physical therapist because I know he is the best there is. Patient and kind, caring and encouraging, Mark Slaughter is the person who will help you recover.

I'm in my 70's and received a gift certificate from my daughter-in-law to go to Mark as a trainer. I hadn't exercised for over a year!After only five months with Mark, I feel better and more active than I have in 30 years! I never dreamed I would would swing kettle bells, lunge with a pole in my hands, or do pull-ups and dips, but Mark told me my body could do anything if my mind would let it, and it's true! Thanks, Mark!!

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.

Mark Slaughter and his staff at Fitness4Life Physical Therapy are very knowledgeable, professional, caring, friendly, and helpful. Mark was able to diagnose my problem even when I was unable to say exactly what was wrong with me! He pinpointed my injury and tailored my therapy sessions which ultimately reduced my pain and furthered the healing process. Mark took his time explaining my injury, what was needed to heal and also what was necessary to prevent a recurrence of my injury. Despite being injured, It was always a pleasure going to therapy because of the upbeat personalities at Fitness4Life Physical Therapy.

Mark & the staff of Fitness4Life Physical Therapy are phenomenal. In addition to outstanding service, Mark and his crew are very knowledgeable and reliable. My trust in their expertise has allowed me to rehab three separate injuries & return to a great quality of life. I am beyond thankful for them, and I would highly suggest them to anyone who is rehabbing an injury or just looking for personal trainers.

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.

Mark is amazing and unlike any other physical therapist I have been to in the past! I have seen him over the years for sciatica, a broken leg, and pre and post knee surgery. He explains why my injury happened, what is needed to fix it, and how to prevent it from happening again! His approach focuses a lot on everyday functional movement, which is amazing because I need my body to work properly EVERY DAY! Mark and Sharon have created a relaxed and fun environment. I know I will laugh and joke and make new friendships every time I go to Fitness4Life Physical Therapy!

I was diagnosed with scoliosis (abnormal curvature of the spine) when I was in middle school and have suffered from mild to severe back pain ever since. After seeing several doctors and a couple of specialists without much good news, it seemed I may have to suffer for the rest of my adolescent as well as adult life. That’s when I started seeing Mark. He helped in ways that even the specialists didn’t know to do and it’s changed my lease on life, how I do things, and has even allowed me to do more than I thought I could! I recently just saw him again due to back pain but this time is different, I’m happy to say I’m 5 months pregnant but was not happy about the back pain. Mark gave me tips on posture; everything from standing to bending over. He also gave me simple exercises to do at home as well as at school while I have a break from teaching. With his help, I am again pain free and back to enjoying my pregnancy! Need a new lease on life or just a different way of doing things so you’re pain free? He’s your guy and always has your best interest in mind!

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!

I have worked with Mark Slaughter for over ten years rehabilitating various body parts from surgery or injuries. Most recently my lower back started hurting so I could not sleep at night. Mark showed me how to increase the flexibility in my back and strengthen my body to prevent future problems. I would rather drive 45 minutes each way to see Mark then see someone closer, who gave me poor results.

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've suffered from back pain since I was 13 years old, caused by Scoliosis and then a major auto accident. A need for physical therapy took me to Mark Slaughter, who examined my back and listened to my history and complaints. With Marks professional direction, I was able to begin strength training and endurance exercise and learned how not to hurt myself. Mark taught me techniques that I use daily to stay pain-free. He genuinely cares about people getting better. Thanks, Mark!
