Physiotherapy treatment plan approved as reasonable and necessary for pain relief of accident-related musculoskeletal injuries.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, specifically a $1,696.00 treatment plan for physiotherapy.
The respondent denied the plan, arguing the applicant sustained minor soft tissue injuries that had healed.
The Tribunal found the treatment plan reasonable and necessary, preferring the applicant's physiatrist's evidence that the treatment provided pain relief for ongoing musculoskeletal injuries.
The Tribunal ordered the respondent to pay for the treatment plan plus interest, but declined to order an award under s. 10 of Reg. 664 as the applicant provided no submissions to justify it.
