Through my athletic career, Mark helped me overcome injuries quickly and become the strongest I have been. His caring demeanor and encouragement made me push harder to achieve more. He genuinely cares about the people he works with and makes the experience very comfortable.

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!

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.

I'm an avid bicycling enthusiast. Three years ago I had a total knee replacement and went to Mark Slaughter, owner of Fyzical Therapy & Balance Center for my therapy. Eight weeks later I was back on my bike and rode in a 34 mile bike race. Four months ago I had my other knee replaced and I returned to Fyzical Therapy & Balance Center again for physical therapy. Two months later I was again riding my bike at which time I hired Physical Therapist, Mark Slaughter as my trainer to strengthen my body for the upcoming biking season. I'm 68 years old with two new knees. I just purchased an all carbon fiber bike loaded with high end components and I'm riding 30 and 40 mile loops with my two sons at an average speed of 18 mph. I owe a lot of gratitude to my Physical Therapist and trainer, Mark Slaughter.

Dealing with a dislocated and broken shoulder AND not being able to start my last school year before retirement, I walked into Fyzical a Therapy and Balance Center 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 Fyzical to anyone needing physical therapy.

I went to FYZICAL Of Edwardsville 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 FYZICAL Of Edwardsville!

After 5 months of procrastinating over an injured elbow that seemed not to be healing it was recommended I call Mark Slaughter at FYZICAL for Life. 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 get by with a little help from my friends- my friend Mark, that is. I have had the "pleasure" of Mark helping me rehabilitate after two injuries- knee surgery and a broken wrist. Mark knows how to push you "just a little bit further" to get the most out of your session and to get you back to your old self as soon as possible. I recommend Mark and Pat- and the puppies- to everyone!

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.

When I found out I needed a right total knee replacement at the ripe old age of 44, I was really scared and didn't know what to expect. As a former collegiate volleyball player, my knee had seen better days and the time had come to do something about it. I heard all the horror stories about the procedure itself and even worse - the rehab! I reached out to my friends on Facebook for physical therapist recommendations and that's how I found Fyzical and Mark Slaughter. After my surgery, Mark and Sharon implemented a program to get me back in the game. They are caring but tough and I was pushed to give my all and then some during each session. Everyone in the office is so friendly and accommodating - they make you feel more like a friend than a patient. I am happy to say that I have made a 100% recovery after TKR and intense rehab. I'm not looking forward to the day when it's time for surgical intervention on my other knee but I do know where I will go for therapy when it's needed again! Thank you Mark, Sharon and Pat for taking such good care of me.

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 Fyzical Therapy and Balance Centers.
