We examined the perspectives of rehabilitation professionals in British Columbia on the use of holistic practices (HP) by their clients with spinal cord injury (SCI). This was a qualitative descriptive study with 13 rehabilitation professionals.Results show that health care practitioners serving those with SCI noted interest in and use of HP between 75% and 90% among their client groups. Most rehabilitation professionals already work in an interdisciplinary fashion with HP practitioners. Some were skeptical about HP, others saw a great benefit to their clients and others still only pursued HP when asked about it by their clients. Conclusions are that health care professionals are willing to acquire more knowledge about HP to provide the best available care. Participants showed interest in incorporating other aspects of health care to aid rehabilitation.
