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.

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!

I love to garden, but was having some hip pain that limited my gardening activities. My orthopedic doctor authorized PT and I knew immediately who to go to! I had been treated for a very weak, painful and limiting back issue about five years ago. Mark taught me how to do daily activities in a way that didn’t stress my back. But he also taught me exercises to do at home that would strengthen my back and stomach muscles that were contributing to my back issues. And I just recently experienced the same positive outcome at Fyzical for my hip issue. The therapists took care to make sure I was doing all movements correctly. And they, in keeping with Mark’s philosophy, also taught me exercises to do at home that will help my hip problem. I can’t give enough praise to the staff at Fyzical for two things: providing skillful and helpful physical therapy services and giving me the “tools” to use at home so I can continue gardening.

I thought I had a knee injury, and Mark pointed me to a good knee surgeon. It turned out I needed both knees replaced. Mark encouraged me to get both knees done at once. It was the best decision I could have made, including going to Mark and Sharon for my PT. They were excellent, and I recovered quickly... actually better than I've been in years. I enjoyed the Fyzical family and the relaxed atmosphere. THANKS for getting me back to good!

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.

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!

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 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 Fyzical you will be greatly rewarded. I have been pain free for a month and counting and there is no greater reward.

I first chose to go to Mark Slaughter for physical therapy for a pretty severe ankle injury. I showed up in an air cast that I was put in at the ER. Mark laughed, told me to never put that thing on again, and my therapy began immediately. His passion for getting people pain-free is evident in every exercise he has his patients do, in every conversation he has, in just his presence. I have gone to Mark and his staff for a variety of issues from my ankle injury to knee pain to tennis elbow, and my pain is quickly relieved through his therapy, at-home exercises, and caring approach to life in general. Mark and his staff are the best of the best! I have referred many to him, including my son, and will continue to only go to him for any needs in the future!

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.

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.

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 Fyzical staff. They consistently provide recommendations and suggestions to maintain my shoulder mobility and to increase my overall physical strength and flexibility. I strongly recommend Fyzical 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.

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!

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.

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!
