Overcome Frontline Pain.
Venture Out Wellness bridges the gap between pain onset and receiving care for military service members and first responders. We provide immediate, self-guided solutions that help frontline defenders troubleshoot and treat pain before it escalates—so they can recover faster, reduce downtime, and remain mission-ready.

The Problem
Frontline defenders often face pain alone — not because they don’t care about their health, but because immediate access to care isn’t always available.
Whether they’re deployed, on shift, or stationed far from consistent support, the reality is clear: pain can show up fast, and help doesn’t always come fast enough.
During her years serving alongside military and first responder communities, Dr. Karen Thomas — Air Force Veteran and Founder of Venture Out Wellness™ — saw the same patterns again and again:
- Delays in care
- Demanding schedules
- Operational environments where pushing through pain feels like the only option
That’s the real problem.
Not a lack of concern — but a lack of timely solutions that fit their world.
Venture Out Wellness™ exists to close that gap.
We deliver proactive, evidence-informed tools to help frontline professionals identify and address pain early — so they can recover faster, reduce downtime, and stay ready for what matters most.
Because pain shouldn’t compromise your mission — or your quality of life.
The Solution
The Clarify & Conquer™ System
Developed by Dr. Karen Thomas — Air Force Veteran, Doctor of Physical Therapy, and founder of Venture Out Wellness™ — the Clarify & Conquer™ System is a tactical, self-guided solution built specifically for military service members and first responders.
This online program teaches frontline defenders how to identify the source of their pain, implement targeted strategies, and begin recovery immediately — even before they can be seen by Medical.
Accessible anytime, anywhere, the Clarify & Conquer™ System bridges the gap between pain onset and professional care — so those who serve can stay in the fight, protect their readiness, and take control of their health on their own terms.

Air Force Veteran | Physical Therapist | Founder of Venture Out Wellness
Dr. Karen Thomas, Air Force Veteran and Doctor of Physical Therapy, has dedicated nearly two decades to serving military service members and first responders around the globe. Her journey began in 2007, inspired by working with a Wounded Warrior recovering from a severe traumatic brain injury. This transformative experience fueled her commitment to empowering frontline defenders to overcome frontline pain and enhance readiness.
As a former active-duty and reserve Air Force Physical Therapist, Dr. Thomas has led clinic operations, spearheaded Human Performance Training Centers, and worked with elite military teams. Along the way, she witnessed a troubling cycle of preventable injuries and hesitation to seek care due to stigma and career concerns.
In 2022, she founded Venture Out Wellness, PLLC to address these challenges proactively. Her mission is to equip service members and first responders with the tools and strategy for self-managed pain relief, improving operational readiness and quality of life. Through evidence-informed programs, she aims to empower these heroes to thrive during service and beyond.
