This article has been retracted: please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (https://www.elsevier.com/about/our-business/policies/article-withdrawal).

This article has been retracted at the request of the Editor-in-Chief.

The authors have plagiarized part of a paper that had already appeared in International Journal of Osteopathic Medicine “Muscle energy technique: An evidence-informed approach” by Fryer, Gary, (International Journal of Osteopathic Medicine (2010) 14, 3–9, http://www.journalofosteopathicmedicine.com/article/S1746-0689(10)00030-1/abstract). One of the conditions of submission of a paper for publication is that authors declare explicitly that their work is original and has not appeared in a publication elsewhere. Re-use of any data should be appropriately cited. As such this article represents abuse of the scientific publishing system. The scientific community takes a very strong view on this matter and apologies are offered to readers of the journal that this was not detected during the submission process.
