What makes Tennis Elbow Oracle different?
Traffic-light morning calibration
A 30-second stiffness check sets today's load. Green = full session. Amber = hold steady. Red = rest. No more guessing whether to push through.
Tempo-guided eccentrics
Heavy slow resistance only works at the prescribed tempo. An opt-in metronome counts every eccentric so the dose is right — and stays out of the way when you don't need it.
Coach Card Stack workouts
Three exercises per day: one stretch, one strengthening move, one tennis-specific drill. Full-screen card, cues, optional guided timer, clear "I'm done" button. Self-paced.
Per-exercise pain logging
After each move, log no pain / mild flare / stop. The app folds those signals into your match score and adjusts tomorrow's plan automatically.
Pause and resume mid-session
Close the app, walk away, come back. Pick up exactly where you left off.
Who is Tennis Elbow Oracle for?
Recreational tennis players (NTRP 2.5–4.5) who have had elbow pain for 1+ weeks and want a structured, evidence-based path back to full play. Also useful for post-physical-therapy maintenance and for prevention work after a teammate sidelined with the same injury. Not designed for children under 13.

What is tennis elbow and how does the app help?

Is this a medical device?
No. Tennis Elbow Oracle is an educational and self-management tool. It does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Consult a qualified clinician for medical advice.
What does Pro unlock?
Full 5-stage program, audio-guided eccentric metronome, pain trend chart and weekly insights, auto-regression on red days, equipment auto-swap, and weekly clinician PDF export.
How long until I'm back on court?
Typical lateral-epicondylitis arcs run 12–16 weeks. Your trajectory depends on starting irritability, adherence, and load tolerance. The app surfaces a transparent progression so you always know where you are.
