Bob Prandi was born and raised in Kent, Washington. He grew up playing sports including football and baseball and continues to be an avid Seahawk and Mariner fan. He graduated with his Bachelor of Science degree in Exercise Science from Seattle Pacific University. He went on to graduate school at Pacific University, graduating in 1994 with a Master of Science in Physical Therapy. He met his wife, Marnie, while in graduate school and upon graduation settled in the South Sound area.
Bob worked in outpatient physical therapy for a few years before becoming a home health therapist, serving Lewis County for 9 years. He was drawn to opening a private outpatient physical therapy (PT) clinic in order to provide more appropriate services for the aging population. Through his home health experience Bob realized that most outpatient PT clinics in the area were not ideally suited for older adults. Knowing older adults thrive in smaller settings where noise and physical obstacles are minimized, Bob found an ideal office location within the Stillwater Estates Retirement Community at Colonial Residence. In January 2005, the doors to Scammon Creek Physical Therapy (SCPT) opened, and the business has been growing ever since. Over the years SCPT has adapted to the demand for their services, eventually serving every age group with pride.
Caryn Pharris grew up in Brookfield, Wisconsin, where her favorite pastimes were camping, traveling, cross county running, cycling, photography, and watercolor painting. She completed her Bachelor of Arts degrees in Psychology and Studio Art at St. Olaf College in Northfield, Minnesota, and then taught ESL in Chiang Mai, Thailand for a year. After returning home, and while training for a marathon, she had an injury that required her to be treated by a physical therapist. Caryn decided to return to school to become a physical therapist, so that she could help other people overcome obstacles and achieve their full potential. She completed her Masters of Physiotherapy degree at the Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen, Scotland in 2010.
Wanting to be near the ocean and the mountains, Caryn moved to Olympia, Washington and began working at the Providence Chehalis outpatient physical therapy clinic. She remained with Providence for 15 years and she loved serving the local community, getting to know her patients, and helping them overcome pain and dysfunction. After the closure of the Providence Chehalis clinic, Caryn joined Scammon Creek Physical Therapy in February 2025. While her scope of practice includes all orthopedics and all age groups, she has a passion for treating the older adult, balance disorders, and vestibular dysfunction.
