reasonable treatment is treatment that:
(a) is available at a location reasonably accessible to the person;

(c) can reliably be expected to result in a significant functional improvement;
(d) is regularly undertaken or performed;
(e) has a high success rate; and
(f) carries a low risk to the person.

Assessing functional impact of pain
       (8) There is no Table dealing specifically with pain and when assessing pain the following must be considered:
(a) acute pain is a symptom which may result in short term loss of functional capacity in more than one area of the body; and
(b) chronic pain may be a standalone diagnosis or a symptom of another condition and, where the condition has been diagnosed, reasonably treated and stabilised for the purposes of subsections 8(4), (5) and (6), any resulting impairment should be assessed using the Table relevant to the area of function affected.
