Meet Your Guide:
Dr. Karen Thomas, PT, DPT
Hi there! I’m Dr. Karen Thomas — Air Force veteran, Doctor of Physical Therapy, and founder of Venture Out Wellness™.
For nearly two decades, I worked with military service members and frontline workers navigating demanding careers, long shifts, and high responsibility.
Through that work, I saw a common pattern: when low back pain shows up, the people carrying the most weight in life often have the least time to slow down and get help.
That’s why I created Clarify & Conquer™ — a clear, practical, self-guided approach designed to help you move forward with confidence, without waiting weeks for appointments or rearranging your life.
Because the work you show up for matters — and so does your well-being.
Dr. Karen Thomas, PT, DPT, OCS Emeritus
AIR FORCE VETERAN | PHYSICAL THERAPIST FOUNDER OF VENTURE OUT WELLNESS
"Dr. Thomas easily integrated into our unit and was quickly seen as a member of the team and not just a provider. I know I speak for all of the men and women in our squadron when I say we were lucky to have her on the team, and the positive impact she made on many lives will be enduring."
-Former Squadron Commander, United States Air Force
The positive impact she made on many lives will be enduring.
"I had the opportunity to work closely with Dr. Thomas over 6 months in a busy deployed combat environment while she served as a Major in the United States Air Force. In addition to her hands-on abilities, she has an outstanding grasp of contemporary literature and current evidence-based clinical practices. Ultimately, these aspects of her training have cultivated her mature, balanced, and well-informed approach to the practice that she has developed. This was evident by her seamless ability to take care of some of the United States Armed Forces tactical athletes to include but not limited to Special Operations, Security Forces, Explosive Ordinance Disposal Technicians, Firefighters, Navy SEALs, and Pararescuemen."
-Former Active-Duty Orthopedic Surgeon, United States Army
Dr. Thomas ranks amongst the best Physical Therapists I have ever worked with.
"I had the distinct honor of both working with and being a patient of Karen's while we were assigned to Patrick Air Force Base, Florida. In my 18+ years of being a PA, Karen is hands down the best physical therapist I have seen or that I have referred my patients to for treatment.
She has a rare combination of expertise and charisma. The love she has for her work is immediately evident, as is her skill set. You would be hard pressed to find a more professional, thoughtful or caring physical therapist. She's a gem!"
-John MacGregor, MPAS, PA-C, United States Air Force Veteran
If ever you have the opportunity to work with Karen or be her patient, don't pass it up!
"I have known Karen for almost 10 years now and over that time I have come to know her as a very knowledgeable, professional, and dedicated individual. I first met her in the physical therapy department at Patrick Air Force Base where we worked with military service members to return them back to duty as soon as possible. Karen has to be one of the most motivated individuals and desires only to help people reach their goals. She is continually going the extra step to improve her knowledge and hands-on experience all while offering the best services to her clients. I am honored to know and to have worked with Karen of the past 10 years!"
-Tammy Shelley, M.S., NSCA-CPT, TSAC-F, NREMT
I am honored to know and to have worked with Karen of the past 10 years!
"Karen is professional, thorough, and attentive. Her ability to understand the needs of her clients is unparalleled. While I worked with her, she was able to find creative solutions that were tailored to my specific needs and goals. Truly, she is one of the few people I trust with my physical well-being."
-Kevin Forrest, United States Air Force Veteran
