I have been going to Fitness4Life Physical Therapy for as long as I can remember. With each visit I am more and more confident that Mark Slaughter knows what he is talking about. When I leave Fitness4Life Physical Therapy after a session with Mark I am reassured that I am attending the best physical therapy center around.

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 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!

Instead of traveling an hour one way to work out with my club volleyball team my senior year, I chose to work with Mark. Mark's main focus was body control and correct form. I worked a lot with body weight exercise and the kettle bells. Currently I work out with my college team at McKendree University and I've found that the work I did with Mark prepared me excellently for what lifts and exercises we do here.

After a devastating injury when I was 21 which left me managing paralysis and pain in my right leg, I chose then not to “fit the mold” of having a disability. About 5 years ago when I turned 40, I started to feel the effects of the injury on my overall health. I found it difficult to go up and down stairs as well as started taking medication to manage the pain. It was then that I realized I needed to do something different and joined a specialized gym. I saw incredible improvement in my strength and overall health. I am currently a member at Iron Orchid in Maryville where I enjoy working out with amazing coaches and members 3-5 days per week. The Gym has helped me to gain the strength to stay active. My husband Chad and I love hiking and have made it our goal to book a trip each year to see different parts of the country. Our most recent trip was in October to Tennessee where we hiked 26 miles in 5 days! Recently I felt something pop and tear in my “good” leg while working out. I panicked over what this meant for my ability to stay active, as I rely on this leg to make up the difference for what my right leg cannot do. With the diagnosis of a torn calf muscle, a set of crutches (kind of a joke hopping on a “bad/now good” leg you can’t feel), significant pain, and the possibility of surgery I was devastated. Chad quickly made call to Pat for an appointment and we got in with Mark Slaughter at Fitness4Life Physical Therapy the same day to get a second opinion and therapy started. At my first appointment with Mark, I was so thankful that he...

When I broke my wrist 2 years ago, I went to Mark Slaughter for rehab following surgical repair. Thanks to Mark and his staff, I have regained full use of my hand and wrist. I had both knees replaced in one surgery last September, and again went to Mark for successful rehab. I would think of going nowhere else. The atmosphere is professional and caring, but also casual and homey - the best of both worlds. This is the only place I will go and I recommend it highly!

For months I had been having pain in my left knee when bending it or climbing stairs, then gradually growing into constant pain, so I decided to have Mark Slaughter at Fitness4Life Physical Therapy check out the issue. I chose Mark after hearing different friends recommend him from experiences they had after therapy from their injuries and knee replacement surgeries. They were pleased with his knowledge, compassion and concern to get them back to a better quality of life. Mark evaluated my range of motion and pain level and suggested I see an orthopedist. I followed his advice, had arthroscopic surgery a few weeks later to correct the problem and was told I would need about 6 weeks of therapy at the therapist of my choice. Of course, I returned to Fitness4Life Physical Therapy. Not only was I able to be pain free but I am also able to keep up with my 4 young grandchildren, running, jumping on the trampoline with them and roller skating. Through Mark and his staff I also learned better posture and proper movements to ease the stress on joints. And they made it FUN too!!!!

I am a person who is not afraid of heavy lifting and because of that I have had my share of back injuries. I have two slipped discs in my back and have had two lumbar epidural steroid injections but the pain never fully went away. When my pain management doctor suggested physical therapy I was skeptical so I tried everything else from a chiropractor to a massage therapist. Mark and his team changed my mind about physical therapy, helped me change my bad habits and put me on the right path to healing. I learned that if you put your trust in the people at Fitness4Life Physical Therapy you will be greatly rewarded. I have been pain free for a month and counting and there is no greater reward.

I first met Mark after a shoulder injury. I couldn’t turn the steering wheel or lift milk out of the refrigerator. I had gone to see my Dr. who suggested physical therapy prior to an orthopedic consult. I will NEVER forget my first day with Mark. We talked briefly and in minutes he observed my posture, position of my feet while walking, and my squat form. All needed to be corrected. I have always been active and exercised I couldn’t believe I needed to change these things in order to stay healthy and get strong. I hadn’t played tennis or lifted weights in months because of my shoulder…in 2 weeks the pain was completely gone. Needless to say, I never left. I have been training with Mark and have learned countless ways to stay healthy and get strong. Mark spends his free time reading and researching. His knowledge is immeasurable and his care for his patients and the relationship he has with everyone who walks through his door is why people return. He does not specialize in one area of expertise. He is training athletes and rehabbing overuse injuries. He is getting someone back on their feet again after a hip or knee replacement. He is personally training and pushing people like me to do things that they thought their body was just not capable of. When you find something really great you want to share it with world…he is my something great. What I’ve learned is how to get strong and stay strong without injury. I’ve learned how to continue an active lifestyle and prevent an injury from happening. I look forward to walking in the door every single day at Fitness4Life Physical Therapy.

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.

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!

From the moment I walked into Mark's clinic, I felt comfortable and assured that I was in good hands. Aside from benefiting from Mark's care, the whole team at Fitness4Life Physical Therapy is very caring and supportive. After 3 knee surgeries, Mark and the team have helped me rehab back to where I am able to regain normal mobility. Not only has Mark guided me through rehabbing my knee post surgery, but he has also taught me fundamentals to prevent future injuries. Mark and the team are truly 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.

I first met Mark over five years ago when I was struggling with neck and shoulder issues that were occasionally incapacitating. Little did I know the path upon which I was embarking: not only did Mark address and treat my neck pain, he introduced me to an entirely new way of exercising and living. It is no exaggeration to say that Mark has changed my life. At 45, I am without doubt the strongest I have ever been, and under Mark's guidance I am still getting stronger! Everything Mark does is designed to meet people where they are - he decreases pain and increases confidence; he improves posture and diminishes poor movement patterns; but most importantly, he gives people whatever tools they need to live their best possible lives. His grasp of the body as a multi-faceted mechanism is unparalleled in the sport and fitness world today. He doesn't believe in gimmicks, and there is no quick fix for anything. But at the same time, his work is incredibly intuitive and consistent. He knows what works for bodies, and his ability to motivate his patients and inspire change is truly awesome. Watching patients improve under Mark's excellent treatment and support has been a highlight of my life over these past years. He is a remarkable therapist and an exceptional person. Thank you, Mark!
