The applicant, who was injured as a pedestrian in a motor vehicle accident, sought statutory accident benefits for continued chiropractic, massage, and weight training, as well as the cost of a psychological assessment.
The insurer had terminated benefits based on a DAC assessment.
The arbitrator found that continued chiropractic and massage therapy were no longer reasonable and necessary, as they were not good long-term solutions and the applicant needed to focus on physical conditioning.
However, supervised weight training was deemed reasonable and necessary.
The arbitrator also ordered the insurer to pay $857 for a psychological assessment, finding it necessary given the applicant's cognitive and behavioural issues.
Claims for interest were granted, but the claim for a special award was dismissed.
