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!

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 spent years living with low back pain, yet trying to continue with my active lifestyle. My back would hurt as I helped on our farm, continued with yard work and even as I picked up my children. I felt very defeated. Yet despite the pain, I still tried to pursue my passion with fitness as a priority. For years I consistently spend 5 early mornings a week at the gym before my house wakes up and am a long distance runner. It seemed the back strengthening exercises recommended and common stretches experts would show me to incorporate into my routine, would only provide temporary relief. Some weeks, the pain was tolerable at best, and I would "push through" the aches and pains. Other weeks, the pain would be more of a stab and make it extremely tough to sit, stand, walk or carry on with my daily tasks, (most of which are not optional.) This vicious cycle had become my normal because I didn't think there was much more anyone could do to help me. I didn't have the time or patience for long office visits anywhere as they tried more trial and error attempts to fix me. (As much as I appreciated their efforts.) I would always leave feeling as if it was a "bandaid" fix but never cured the problem. Then one day I came across a friend online recommending Mark Slaughter. I'm so thankful I decided to call. He was so thorough at our initial consultation, and continues to be at each session I'm there! I immediately felt a new sense of hope and confidence after he spent time explaining the root of my injury and our plan of action to fix it. I have a huge respect for Mark's extensive knowledge-base. He is on fire...

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 Fyzical of Edwardsville 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 Fyzical. 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...

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!

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...

My experience with Mark Slaughter and his clinic was not only fun but also a very good learning experience. Everyday he had his clients learn new things ranging from stretching to learning about how your body actually works. You get a vibe when you walk in that you are in a pretty special place because Mark is usually jamming out to the Beatles when you walk in. Mark Slaughter is one very interesting and intelligent man. He has taught me how to use and work my body better than any doctor or physician ever could have. Overall Mark runs a wonderful clinic with so many different great things to offer to not only please the client, but their body as well.

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!

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!

Thank you very much for the wonderful physical therapy services you and your staff provide for those of us in need. In late October of 2016 I began experiencing tremendous Sciatic issues down the front of my right leg to the extent that I was literally unable to stand upright or walk beyond fifty feet without intense pain. Mark did a thorough evaluation and prescribed a course of action that included stretching, some massage and cupping. For me the cupping treatments were wonderful and produce quick relief to trouble areas. Within two and one half weeks I had dramatic relief from the pain and began to work on strength. Thank you all for your care and very warm and friendly environment. Without a doubt a great place for great therapy and friendly people. Best in my book.

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.

My wife had gone to Fitness4Life Physical Therapy for therapy on her knee and shoulder, and she was very pleased with Mark and the Knowledgeable staff there. So when my doctor prescribed physical therapy for my back and hip pain, I knew right where to go. From the initial evaluation, to the therapy sessions, to the exercises which were prescribed, I was feeling less and less pain each day. Thanks to Mark and his great staff my back and hip are doing great!!

I went to Fitness4Life Physical Therapy for physical therapy after my surgery for a torn rotator cuff. Mark did an excellent job of getting my shoulder back into condition. My son also went to there for a workout program for high school sports. Mark and the staff provided him with an all around workout program that made him stronger and more fit. I highly recommend Mark and Fitness4Life Physical Therapy!

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.
