Partnership strengthens workers' compensation physical therapy, industrial rehabilitation, FCE, and return-to-work programs across Utah, Idaho, and Montana
SALT LAKE CITY, UT AND MILWAUKEE, WI / ACCESS Newswire / September 17, 2026 / Mountain Land Physical Therapy Partners, a leading provider of outpatient rehabilitation services across Utah, Idaho, and Montana, has partnered with OccuPro to enhance and expand its workers' comp, industrial rehab, and employer services programs throughout its clinic network.
The partnership reflects Mountain Land's commitment to becoming a premier occupational health physical therapy provider for workers' compensation physicians, case managers, insurance carriers, and employers. Through OccuPro, Mountain Land is strengthening employer relationships while expanding injured worker physical therapy care, post-offer employment testing, and direct-to-employer opportunities.
Mountain Land began its search by looking for better workers' compensation documentation within its existing EMR platform. That process led the organization to OccuPro's specialized suite of industrial rehabilitation and return-to-work solutions.
Following virtual demonstrations, strategic planning meetings, and in-person discussions, Mountain Land selected OccuPro to support its growing workers' compensation and employer services physical therapy strategy.
"After a thorough evaluation process, we chose OccuPro because they offered the specialized expertise, technology, and support needed to accelerate our workers' compensation and employer services physical therapy strategy."
Rick Lybbert, CEO, Mountain Land Physical Therapy
OccuPro's implementation included workers' compensation documentation, work conditioning documentation and outcome tracking, FCE testing and reporting, POET, and return-to-work testing tools. Together, these solutions support greater consistency across locations and clearer communication with employers, physicians, adjusters, case managers, and payors.
OccuPro also provided on-site onboarding in Utah, followed by coaching, reporting, and ongoing support to help Mountain Land build long-term success across its clinic network.
Within the first three months, Mountain Land began seeing growth in its workers' compensation and industrial rehabilitation programs as clinics gained confidence using standardized documentation, testing, and reporting tools to support return-to-work decision-making.
"OccuPro has helped us create a stronger foundation for serving injured workers, case managers, and employers while expanding industrial rehabilitation services throughout our organization."
Derek Overly, Director of Employer Services, Mountain Land Physical Therapy
For Mountain Land, the partnership extends beyond software. It supports a broader occupational health physical therapy strategy focused on helping injured workers return to gainful employment and achieve safer return-to-work outcomes.
With standardized processes and scalable infrastructure in place, Mountain Land is positioning its clinics better to serve all stakeholders in a workers' compensation case while expanding as a primary care injured worker provider, FCEs, work conditioning, and employer-directed services to keep employees safe on the job.
OccuPro views the partnership as part of a growing trend among rehabilitation organizations using employer-focused services and objective occupational testing to differentiate their programs.
"Mountain Land's commitment to excellence and innovation made them an ideal partner. We're excited by the early success they've already achieved and look forward to supporting their continued growth."
Jim Mecham, MSIE, OTR/L, CPE, President, Chief Operations Officer & Co-Founder, OccuPro
As Mountain Land expands its occupational health footprint across the region, both organizations remain focused on helping employers and injured workers achieve better outcomes through evidence-based testing, streamlined documentation, and stronger employer-clinic partnerships.
