Various embodiments are directed to a therapy tape configured to enable a tensile force to be applied to one or more surfaces (e.g., a patient's skin). In various embodiments, the therapy tape may comprise a backing layer having a top surface and a bottom surface. An adhesive layer configured to secure the therapy tape to a surface may be secured relative to the bottom surface of the backing layer. Moreover, one or more handles may be secured to the top side of the backing layer. The one or more handles may be configured to enable a tensile force to be applied to the therapy tape and the surface to lift a portion of the surface while maintaining adherence between the therapy tape and the surface.
