            PACIFIC REHAB APPOINTS SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT - GENERAL COUNSEL
                          AND DISCUSSES EARNINGS PROJECTIONS

Vancouver, Washington (September 16, 1996) -- Pacific Rehabilitation &
Sports Medicine, Inc.  (Nasdaq:  PRHB) today announced that the Company's
outside general counsel, Michael McArthur-Phillips of Garvey, Schubert & Barer,
had agreed to join the Company as Senior Vice President - General Counsel and
Secretary.  Mr. Bill Barancik, the Company's President and Chief Executive
Officer stated, "We are pleased to have Mike join us as a member of the
executive team.  Mike has represented the Company for three years from its
initial public offering through all of the Company's acquisitions since that
time, and has been primarily responsible for the Company's ongoing corporate and
securities compliance."

The Company also announced that it was expecting earnings per share in the
range of $0.09 to $0.10 for the six month second half of 1996.  For the year
1997, the Company said it was expecting from current operations earnings per
share in the range of $0.32.  Earnings will be higher if the Company is able to
successfully consummate a number of acquistions.  In this regard, the Company
has engaged the investment banking firm of Shipley Raidy Capital Partners, LP to
pursue a private placement of debt that will provide capital to be used for
strategic acquisitions and working capital purposes.  These earnings per share
amounts are exclusive of any restructuring or other extraordinary charges and
are based on approximately the same number of equivalent shares outstanding.
Mr. Barancik stated, "I have been with the Company five months.  During that
time, I have had the opportunity to spend time at the Company's clinics and to
get acquainted with many of the Company's employees.  These visits have given me
a lot of optimism about the Company and its future.  As you know, in recent
months we have closed and consolidated some operations in Hawaii and, as we have
previously indicated, more reorganizations and consolidation of clinics in
additional markets such as Texas and California may be necessary as we take
actions to increase our profitability.  Since May, the Company, starting at the
individual clinic level, has gone through an exhaustive budgeting process
designed to identify areas where revenue can be increased and costs can be
reduced.  As

a result of that process, I now have a much greater degree of confidence in our
internal projections than when I arrived.  I believe this budgeting process and
resulting confidence are significant milestones for the Company.  Of course, a
number of factors and events, many of which we have limited or no control over,
may impact our projections.  Nonetheless, I believe that the Company will earn
in the range of $0.09 to $0.10 per share in the second half of 1996 and in the
range of $0.32 per share in 1997, exclusive of any acquisitions or any
restructuring or other extraordinary charges and based on approximately the same
number of shares."

outpatient rehabilitation clinics in Washington, Oregon, California, Hawaii,
Nevada, Arizona, Texas, Mississippi, Florida, and Maryland.

             PACIFIC REHAB TAKES ACTION TO RETAIN NON-EXECUTIVE OFFICER
                        EMPLOYEES HOLDING ABOVE MARKET OPTIONS

    Vancouver, Washington (September 18, 1996) -- Pacific Rehabilitation &
Sports Medicine, Inc. (Nasdaq: PRHB), today announced that the Board of
Directors' approved a plan that provides non-executive officer employees with
the choice of canceling certain option grants with exercise prices above the
current market price in exchange for new option grants that have exercise prices
equal to the current market price for the Company's common stock.  The new
replacement option grants only apply to existing grants issued to non-executive
officer employees.  Affected employees will have the choice of canceling their
old option grants in exchange for a new option grant for the same number of
shares at the market value on September 16, 1996.  The new grants will utilize
shares already available for grant under the normal provisions of the company's
1993 Amended and Restated Combination Stock Option Plan.

    Mr. Bill Barancik, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer
stated, "As we grow and continue our focus on increased operating results, it is
critical that we recognize, motivate, and retain our key personnel.  The Board
of Directors felt that it was in the best interest of shareholders to take
timely action to help achieve this objective."
