Prof Kyte trained as a Physiotherapist at the University of Bradford, graduating in 1996. He went on to work in the NHS for over 10 years, rising to a position as an Extended Scope Practitioner (Trauma & Orthopaedics) at the Sandwell and West Birmingham Hospitals NHS Trust. He moved into academia as a Clinical Tutor at the University of Birmingham in 2007. In this role he was involved in the delivery of under- and post-graduate education within the department of nursing and physiotherapy, specialising in anatomy & physiology and musculoskeletal practice. He completed an MSc in Advancing Practice (Specialist Manipulative Physiotherapy) in 2009. In 2011, he successfully applied for a fully funded NIHR doctoral fellowship, completing the PhD alongside his physiotherapy teaching workload and graduating in 2015.
