A press announcement crossed our desk recently and it sure sounded like a California based provider of on-demand physical therapy services is, in effect, becoming the Uber or GrubHub of rehab.
The company, Rocklin California-based Luna Care, Inc., announced that they had signed a partnership agreement with Atlanta, Georgia-based Emory Healthcare and San Diego, California-based Scripps Health to deliver at-home physical therapy services to local patients.
What caught our eye was this: Luna’s name comes from “moonlighting.” Most of Luna’s 800+ licensed physical therapists work full time at clinics or other facilities and do about 10 visits per week with Luna. In effect, these otherwise employed therapists “moonlight” with Luna—which now more commonly known as the “gig” economy.
