Self-guided back pain relief - built for real life. Accessible anytime, anywhere.
Maybe it's a deployment. A double shift. A household that doesn't run without you. Multiple jobs to make ends meet. A business you're building between everything else.
Frontline work isn't a job title. It's the standard you hold yourself to — and the weight you carry when nobody's watching.
And when low back pain shows up on top of all that, the questions don't stay physical for long.
What will people think?
Will this affect my job, my status, my career?
How long is this going to take to deal with?
Can I push through this?
So you do what people like you do.
You push through. You stretch a little. You search online for answers. You hope it passes.
Sometimes it does. Often, it doesn’t.
The pain lingers—and eventually it starts affecting more than just your back. Your sleep. Your focus. Your energy. The way you show up for the work and the people that need you.
You deserve better than that. And there is a better way.
That's where we come in.
You show up. Every single day. No matter what.

Meet Your Guide:
Dr. Karen Thomas, PT, DPT
I’m Dr. Karen Thomas — Air Force veteran, Doctor of Physical Therapy, and founder of Venture Out Wellness™.
For nearly two decades, I worked alongside military service members, special operations forces, first responders, and frontline workers navigating demanding careers, long shifts, and pain they couldn't afford to slow down for.
I saw the same pattern over and over: the people carrying the most weight in life had the least time — and the most hesitation — to ask for help.
So I built something different. A clear, practical, self-guided path to low back pain relief that works in your life, not around it. No appointments. No career risk. No waiting.
Because the work you show up for matters. And so do you.
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."

"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

"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!"

"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!"
