Mark helped me through several injuries, but most importantly is whence helped me get a proper diagnosis and recover from a fractured spine. I left with my injuries healed and stronger than I was before. It was always fun coming into the gym and listening to the Beatles on the radio. Thanks for everything Mark. Wouldn't be where I am today without your help.

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.

Mark Slaughter is the top physical therapist in our area. His one-on-one personal and professional attention with myself as a patient and my family, is greatly appreciated! He has not only helped us with issues we have had, he takes the extra step to insure that we are stronger to prevent future injuries. He worked closely with our daughter's surgeon before and after her ACL surgery and it was a total success! Thank you for always being there!

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.

Dealing with a dislocated and broken shoulder AND not being able to start my last school year before retirement, I walked into Fitness4Life Physical Therapy and met Mark Slaughter and crew. They made the next 1 1/2 years lots of very hard work but at the same time I had a blast! Who knew trying to rehab a shoulder could be so much fun? I received excellent treatment from the entire staff and I recommend Fitness4Life Physical Therapy to anyone needing physical therapy.

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.

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 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 had major shoulder surgery in March of 2016. My work insurance provided for many therapy visits. When that coverage expired, I knew that I needed more therapy to regain full use of my shoulder. Mark was recommended by a friend. Both Mark and Sharon provided the necessary guidance to rehab my shoulder. After release by the surgeon, I continued daily visits with the staff. They consistently provide recommendations and suggestions to maintain my shoulder mobility and to increase my overall physical strength and flexibility. I strongly recommend Fitness4Life Physical Therapy for any therapy or workout needs. The environment is warm and friendly. The patrons provide encouragement for each other. It is a family atmosphere where care for each person is felt. I truly appreciate all the help that the entire staff has provided to me. They are awesome.

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!

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'm happy to highly recommend Mark Slaughter and the staff at Fitness4Life Physical Therapy. I broke my fibula at the ankle and had 9 weeks of non-weight bearing in a fixed position. The result? A locked and very painful ankle joint! Mark listened carefully to my situation and put together a plan that has yielded great results using a variety of exercises and treatments. (I even had cupping done like the Olympic athletes!) Mark and Sharon are quick to listen and try new approaches as I have progressed. Information about the mechanics of walking is important and they have done a great job teaching me how to monitor my movement to avoid future problems. The atmosphere created at Fyzical feels like family and they exhibit a personal and very caring attitude. Additionally, I have had lower back pain for about 30 years. Mark suggested a few exercises and talked with me about posture and how to move and miraculously, I am pain free now. I now know what to do should I have pain again. In the front office, Pat Slaughter is great and makes scheduling easy even working around my business travel schedule. I found Mark on the recommendation of a friend and I wholeheartedly agree!!

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!
