Mountain Land Physical Therapy

Working at Mountain Land Physical Therapy is both busy and rewarding. A typical day involves greeting patients, scheduling appointments, verifying insurance, coordinating with therapists and techs, and keeping the clinic running smoothly. The pace stays steady, but the structure and teamwork help everything flow.

I learned a great deal about patient care coordination, insurance processes, communication, and time management. The role strengthened my ability to multitask, stay organized under pressure, and communicate clearly and compassionately with patients who may be in pain or stressed.

Management is supportive and approachable. Leadership values feedback, encourages growth, and genuinely cares about both patients and staff. Expectations are clear, and there is trust given to do your job well, which makes a big difference in day-to-day morale.

The workplace culture is one of teamwork and positivity. Coworkers are willing to step in to help each other, and there is a strong sense that everyone is working toward the same goal: providing excellent patient care. It feels like a team rather than just a job.

The hardest part of the job is balancing a high volume of tasks while ensuring every patient still feels heard and cared for. The most enjoyable part is building relationships with patients and coworkers and knowing your work directly contributes to someone’s recovery and progress.

I have really enjoyed my time at Mountain Land and have only seen improvements in recent years. Mountain Land is a private practice which involves a higher level of stress because if you lose money, you go out of business. This financial component sometimes rubs employees the wrong way because there's a culture of consist innovation and improvement. However, I think this promotes better outcomes for patients because if they aren't happy, they won't come back. I've had a lot of PT in my life due to ski-related injuries and you can feel that there is a higher level of care at Mountain Land. It made me proud to work here. Even though Mountain Land is focused on be operationally efficient, they also focus a lot on caring company culture. I experienced this first hand in 2020 when I was able to keep my job partly because the leadership team forfeited their salaries, but still worked 50+ hours a week trying to adapt to the shutdown. I was promoted to a HR position a few years back, so I obviously need to be pro-Mountain Land, but even if I wasn't in HR, I love this company and the opportunities they have given me over the last 6.5 years!   

This clinic is hands down the best. Great patients, phenomenal team, and treatment style is a ‘green light’ by the supervising PTs which is SO nice as PTAs. Clinic Director is the best. There is a family-feel to our clinic and it is palpable and the patients see and enjoy and truly enhances their care. 

Now, as a company - the company is getting better benefits which is nice to see a step in the right direction and they’ve heard us on that which is super appreciated — the pay is absolutely below average, very poor. Company pays a 5yr therapist wage of a competitors (same size and smaller) starting wage which is quite defeating considering the size of MLPT and I REALLY hope this changes. That is my  flaw is the hourly pay being really bad. I get insurance and reimbursements are tough but other clinics as mentioned above that are smaller are still paying quite a bit higher of at least $3-$5/hour. I will say they recently started PTA productivity bonuses which is nice and a feel of appreciation. 

Overall, 4/5 star for MLPT. I love the clinic I work at! 

I have worked for Mountain Land Physical Therapy (MLPT) since 2008 (17 years) and have enjoyed my coworkers, environment, and patients.  We have a great support system within the clinic with amazing coworkers as well as support from our home office with IT, HR, marketing, leadership team, compliance, billing, payroll, etc.  MLPT focuses on finding high level team members that are focused on progressing the future of physical therapy.  They invest in each of us from the techs having a Pre PT pathway, to helping the PTs achieve niche programs, board certification, etc.  Having a home office with all of the support teams has helped take weights off our shoulders so we can focus on patient care.  We live and breathe our mission, vision, and core values.  I love working here and highly recommend MLPT!

What is the best part of working at the company?
The manager and co-workers are really great. The work is pretty easy and it’s great getting to know the patients. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The pay is terrible company wide. There are many other jobs that offer better pay. Also the clinical coordinator has much too much to do thus working overtime when others work part time and the work could be divided up between receptionist and the coordinator. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Relaxed and laid back which may detour some patients to more quite or serious clinics. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Schedule, check-in patients. Assist with tech support which includes helping the patient start their exercise regime, documentation of everything, general office clerk work.

Working for Mountain Land has been a great learning experience for me, which is exactly what I wanted in preparation for PTA school.  The entire staff is fabulous to work with.  Everyone is positive, encouraging, kind, patient, knowledgeable, and always willing to teach me what I don't know.  We have a lot of fun at our clinic.  I feel valued and appreciated.  My excitement for the profession has grown even more since I started working here.

Some of the downsides to working here are that it is difficult to go without a lunch break every day and to not feel like a slacker if I do take a minute to grab a quick snack.  We could always use more tech coverage to allow us to take a day off when we need it.  I also wish our flow charts had more writing space so that we don't have to write microscopically small.

They admit that they pay their employees less than everyone else in town, so expect to work more than 40 hours every single week but only be paid salary of 40 hours, low morale, focus is on statistics and numbers and productivity, it feels like a factory, poor environment to provide good patient care. The owner is a PT but he is too busy to handle his business so Superior Physical Therapy is run by a non-PT who does not even know what a goniometer is. This is all fact based. Ask any employee. I love my co-workers but administration is out of touch.

I started here relatively early into my career and enjoyed working as a massage therapist with MLR for about 2.5 years. The pay was above average and the flexibility and support from my supervisor and colleagues was amazing. As a massage therapist I think anyone should jump at the opportunity for a job like this especially if you're interested in clinical and medical massage. There are some steep learning curves but this is a good place to learn.

If you aren't in PT or PTA school not a great job. Not enough training. I didn't feel comfortable when they started me on the floor by myself. All therapists are extremely over booked, so the techs are doing work they aren't qualified for to try and keep up. Starts out at 8/hr. "with raises" but I didn't get a raise at all in 3 years. I never had any problems with management and was a good employee. Lots of PT students are working there trying to get job experience for school so you get almost no hours because they're trying to fit everyone in the schedule to work. No breaks, no paid time off, and no benefits. 
Also have mandatory meetings Fridays early in the morning.

As far as the fellow clinicians you work with on a daily basis, they are fantastic. All clinicians seemed friendly and cared for patients individually. The structure of the business made it difficult to always feel connected and engaged with patients because the pace was quick with high volume being a focus of the company. For the amount of patients seen, pay was very low with poor benefits beyond an average retirement account and below average PTO. It is an easy place to feel like just a number, and for me that was not what I wanted.
