King Simon King has been practicing and teaching chiropractic for 22 years.

He grew up in Auckland, NZ and had his first chiropractic treatment after falling off a chair at the age of 6. hat early treatment seemed to end his prior need for weekly blood tests that were searching for the origin of a “leukaemic – like” condition and ironically, low muscle tone. At the age of 14, the chiropractic philosophy that the body would look after itself if the nervous system was working properly, seemed so appealing that he chose this as his future career.

Around this time he also took up bike racing and made the NZ cycling team at the age of 17, competing in road and track events in New Zealand and Australia, including the Empire Games in 1980.

He started his chiropractic studies at the RMIT (then PIT) in Melbourne, being part of the first-ever government-funded chiropractic course. After 5 years’ full-time study he practiced for 2 years on the Gold Coast in Australia before taking up a teaching post at the Anglo-European College of Chiropractic in Bournemouth, England, and then moved back into practice in Retford, Nottinghamshire and Grantham, Lincolnshire.

As his practice developed, he became fascinated by the fact that certain patients responded to treatment easily while others did not and the difference could not be explained by current knowledge or teaching.

Simon studied and became proficient in Applied Kinesiology, a system of diagnosis based on manual muscle testing and became a diplomate of the International College of Applied Kinesiology in 1996. he theory that became proprioceptive medicine grew out of his desire to understand the facilitation and inhibition that are fundamental to Applied Kinesiology.

He has been teaching Applied Kinesiology and proprioceptive medicine to health professionals for 8 years and is currently practicing in Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire.
