Item 7.01  Regulation FD Disclosure.

     U. S. Physical Therapy, Inc. (the "Company") will deliver a presentation on
Tuesday, August 19, 2008 at the Noble Financial Capital Markets Fourth Annual
Equity Conference at the Loews Lake Las Vegas Resort in Henderson, Nevada.
Lawrance McAfee, Chief Financial Officer, will address the conference.

     A copy of the presentation may be accessed on the Company's website,
www.usph.com.

     The investor presentation contains certain non-GAAP financial measures as
defined under Regulation G of the rules and regulations of the SEC. The non-GAAP
financial measures contained in the presentation include a presentation of
EBITDAEC (referred to as adjusted EBITDA in some cases). EBITDAEC equals net
income before interest, taxes, amortization and depreciation and equity
compensation expense. See the addendum included in the presentation for a
reconciliation of net income to EBITDAEC. Management believes providing this
non-GAAP financial information to investors is useful information for comparing
the Company's period-to-period results.

     Pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the
information contained in this report shall not be deemed to be "filed" for the
purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and
will not be incorporated by reference into any filings by the Company under such
Act or the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
