Luna, the tech-enabled, in-home physical therapy provider, is teaming up with Powerback Rehabilitation, one of the country’s largest rehab providers.
Powerback provides comprehensive rehab services including physical, occupational and speech therapy primarily to older adults in about 1,400 locations across the U.S. The partnership will help expand Powerback’s capacity with Luna physical therapists while helping scale Luna’s footprint. Luna also announced it is planning to expand later this year to in-home occupational and speech therapy, Fierce Healthcare reports.
“Luna’s in-home, in-person physical therapy, together with the scale of Powerback, makes for an enviable combination,” Palak Shah, co-founder and head of clinical operations at Luna, said in an announcement. “This will result in greater geographic coverage for Powerback, along with access to Luna’s thousands of therapists, which will improve patient experience and recovery.”
As other physical therapy offerings move to an increasingly digital space, Luna stands by its offerings leveraging tech. Luna will match Powerback patients with therapists based on a number of factors, including specialty, geography and schedule, at the time and location of their choosing. That same therapist will treat Powerback patients for their entire treatment plan. Powerback patients and therapists will be able to communicate with each other and discuss care needs between visits via Luna’s app. Read more.
