ITEM 2.02   RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL RESULTS

On August 1, 2006, U.S.  Physical  Therapy,  Inc. (the  "Company")  reported its
results for the second  quarter ended June 30, 2006. A copy of the press release
is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

This  press  release  contains  a  non-GAAP  financial  measure  as  defined  by
Regulation G of the Securities and Exchange  Commission.  The attached financial
summary  contains a schedule which  reconciles this measure to the most directly
comparable GAAP measure.  This non-GAAP  financial  measure may be considered in
addition  to,  not  as a  substitute  for  the  financial  measure  prepared  in
accordance with GAAP (generally  accepted accounting  principles).  The non-GAAP
financial  measure  contained in the press release is a presentation  of EBITDA.
EBITDA equals net income before interest,  taxes,  amortization and depreciation
expense.  Management  believes providing this non-GAAP financial  information to
investors is useful  information  for comparing  the Company's  period-to-period
results.
