Swimming

 

Swimming provides a full-body workout without putting pressure on the ankles. Engage in different strokes such as freestyle, breaststroke, or backstroke to vary the muscles used while keeping pace with your comfort level. Focus on maintaining an elongated body position and consistent breathing to maximize cardiovascular benefits.

Stationary Biking

 

Utilize a stationary bike to keep the cardiovascular system engaged without the impact on ankles. Adjust the seat to maintain a slight bend in the knee at the lowest pedal point. Start with a moderate resistance, gradually increasing as your stamina improves, while maintaining an upright posture and engaging the core.

Rowing Machine

 

Rowing machines offer an excellent low-impact cardio workout. Focus on propelling with your legs, maintaining a straight back, and pulling the handles towards your chest. Keep your core engaged throughout the motion and ensure smooth, controlled strokes.

Elliptical Trainer

 

Using an elliptical trainer can simulate walking or running without ankle strain. Keep your posture upright, engage your core, and hold onto the handlebars without supporting your weight with them. Focus on long, smooth strides and maintain proper foot positioning on the pedals.

Upper Body Ergometer

 

An upper body ergometer (UBE), or arm bike, focuses solely on the upper body, ensuring no ankle involvement. Adjust the seat and handles for comfortable and efficient rotations. Keep a steady pace, concentrating on even resistance throughout the rotation cycle.

Seated Marching

 

While seated in a chair, alternately lift your knees towards your chest, imitating a marching motion. Keep a brisk pace, relying on your core muscles for stabilization. This exercise provides cardiovascular benefits without any strain on the ankles.

Chair Aerobics

 

Engage in rhythmic movements while seated, including arm circles, leg extensions, and side stretches. Use music to keep pace and enhance the aerobic experience. This activity suits individuals looking to improve cardio fitness with minimal lower body involvement.

Modified Jumping Jacks

 

Perform jumping jacks by stepping side-to-side rather than jumping, keeping one foot grounded at all times. Synchronously move your arms overhead with each step, maintaining a lively rhythm to elevate heart rate. Ensure movements are controlled and gentle for reduced ankle strain.

Punching Bag Workout

 

Offering an exhilarating workout, focus on punching combinations with the right technique to avoid undue impact on the ankles. Stand with knees slightly bent and use your hips for power. Keep punches smooth and steady, allowing for a comprehensive upper body workout.

Swimming Noodles Exercises

 

In a pool, use swimming noodles for resistance exercises to elevate your heart rate without ankle strain. Perform movements such as water jogging or cycling while being buoyed by the water's support. These exercises improve cardiovascular fitness with minimal impact concerns.

Premium Medication you can trust

Our weight loss medication is delivered straight to your doorstep from a state-licensed pharmacy within our reliable network, ensuring you receive your medication when you need it.

Each pharmacy in our network undergoes rigorous third-party testing through FDA and DEA certified labs. These tests focus on four key elements, ensuring both safety and efficacy for our treatments.

Got questions? We have answers.

Do your plans include prescriptions and medications?

Curex plans cover everything from reviewing your medical intake to providing prescription medications, with free shipping included. There are no extra or hidden charges. Prescriptions are issued only after a medical provider reviews your information to confirm that the medication is suitable for you. Our service includes continuous support and regular follow-ups to ensure your treatment stays on track.

Our clinicians may order labs and additional medications for you, which would not be covered by the plan but for which you can use your insurance.

Please note: Compounded medications are tailored to individual needs or used in case of shortages, but they are not FDA-approved for safety or effectiveness. A prescription is required. Results may vary from person to person.

What medications do your providers prescribe?

We prioritize a personalized approach to your health. If your medical provider prescribes medication, options may include GLP-1 treatments such as compounded semaglutide (the active ingredient in Wegovy®* and Ozempic®*). Our providers prescribe only combination treatments not available at your local pharmacy that may include vitamin B12, etc. to help you achieve your goals faster.

Depending on your treatment goals, other medications such as metformin may also be considered. We recognize the importance of managing side effects, so your care plan might include medication to ease symptoms like nausea. Your well-being is always our top priority!

Please note that compounded medications are customized to meet individual patient needs and are not FDA-approved for safety or effectiveness. A prescription is necessary. Results may vary from person to person.

Curex and its pharmacy partners do not have any association with Novo Nordisk.

Will I be prescribed semaglutide if I sign up?

Your health journey is unique, and we tailor our care to match. Any prescriptions, including semaglutide, will be based on the expert assessment of the medical provider matched with you through our platform. You can trust that your treatment plan will be personalized to fit your specific needs. And if semaglutide is not prescribed, we will provide a full refund.

What is compounded medication?

Compounding involves creating customized medications to meet the specific needs of individual patients. For instance, a patient may require a liquid version of a medication that is only available in tablet form. Pharmacies can also compound medications using FDA-approved drugs that are on the FDA’s shortage list.

These compounded medications are made by state-licensed pharmacies that follow both federal and state regulations, including quality standards. However, when compounded in accordance with these laws, these medications are not subject to FDA approval and are not evaluated for safety or effectiveness.

Is compounded medication the same as generic medication?

Compounded medications differ from generic drugs. Generics require FDA approval by demonstrating bio-equivalence to the brand-name drug. In contrast, compounded medications are not FDA-approved. They are made based on a personalized prescription that may not be commercially available elsewhere or when a drug appears on the FDA’s shortage list. Compounding pharmacies must have the proper licensed facilities and comply with state and federal regulations before dispensing these medications.

Is insurance required?

No, Curex doesn’t require insurance. We offer clear and simple pricing, along with affordable medication options, making it easy and accessible to take care of your health.

Can I pay with an FSA or HSA card?

Yes! You can pay with your HSA or FSA card.

How much does treatment cost?

Semaglutide is priced at $149 for your first month, and $299 per month thereafter. This includes unlimited messaging with your medical provider, access to compounded medication at any dosage (if prescribed), and a user-friendly portal where you can manage your care plan and track your progress.

These prices do not include sales, promotions, or special offers.

Can you prescribe Ozempic®* or Wegovy®*?

Our providers focus on personalized medications and dosages that aren’t commercially available at your local pharmacy. While we don’t prescribe Ozempic®* or Wegovy®* directly, we may prescribe treatments containing the same active ingredient. These medications are specially compounded for you by a licensed pharmacy to meet your specific needs.

Are video visits with a provider required?

Our providers will review your information 100% online. Depending on where you live and the specifics of your medical history, our providers may require you to have a video visit or asynchronous visit via text message. If prescribed, you’ll get unlimited online access to message your provider as needed for follow-ups, adjustments, and answers to your questions.
