U. S. Physical Therapy, Inc. (the "Company") will deliver a presentation on
Tuesday, March 24, 2009 at the Sidoti & Co LLC Thirteenth Annual New York
Emerging Growth Institutional Investor Forum at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in New
York, New York. Lawrance McAfee, Chief Financial Officer, will address the
conference.
A copy of the presentation may be accessed on the Company's website,

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.

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
