Lateral Epicondylitis Rehab, Tennis Elbow Oracle

If you have lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow), Tennis Elbow Oracle gives you a clinician-aligned daily rehab session, calibrated to how your elbow feels that morning.

Lateral epicondylitis affects roughly 1–3% of adults and is notoriously slow to heal without structured loading. Tennis Elbow Oracle delivers a traffic-light-calibrated daily session of heavy slow resistance with strict eccentric tempo, framed as a 5-Set tournament progression from Acute Phase to Sport-Proofing.

Per-exercise pain log and weekly trend chart
Equipment auto-swap (dumbbell ↔ band ↔ kettlebell)

What makes it different?

5-Set tournament progression

Recovery is framed as a 5-Set match: Acute Phase → Early Rehab → Conditioning → Strength → Sport-Proofing. Each pain-free session is a game won. Set advancement unlocks more court time.

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 it 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.
