Fantastic experience: Great environment and meticulous attention to detail and explanation from Master Graeme

Fantastic experience: Great service from Graeme. Professional and explained everything clearly.

Fantastic experience: After suffering with sciatica pain for over a year, Graeme was able to help significantly after just a couple of appointments. Would definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: This is the second time I’ve been to see Graeme. My first round of physio was approximately 3 years ago when I was really happy with the treatment I received. This time I went back for assistance with rehabilitation and was not disappointed. Graeme understands exactly what I need and has explained so much to me as well as giving me great exercises to do. I wouldn’t consider going anywhere else and always recommend him to friends and family. ❤️

Fantastic experience: Friendly service, a nice place to visit, my son needed help with a tennis injury, Strive Health were fantastic.

Fantastic experience: Graham is very knowledgeable and explains everything in easy to understand terms and I’m now pain free

Fantastic experience: My experience with Strive was excellent. Although I am awaiting test results my concerns were sympathetically listened to and good general advice and exercises given pending diagnosis.

Fantastic experience: I went to Strive on the recommendation of a friend. I am so glad I did; Graeme helped me overcome a painful knee, taking time to explain the possible causes and reassuring me that I would be able to get back running again. As a sports person himself, he understood how important it was for me to remain active. Graeme showed me some good stretching exercises which I am determined to make part of my daily routine.

Fantastic experience: I would be lost without Carrie and all her expertise and support. Helping me to keep on track and grounded when it comes to food and eating, especially as a sports person and a history of disordered eating. Such a positive and understanding person too. I can't recommend Carrie and her services highly enough.

Fantastic experience: Discovering Strive has been a transformative journey for my well-being. Less than three months into my Kuk Sool Won training, and the results are astounding. It’s as though my body is rejuvenating, unveiling muscles long-forgotten after years of neglect. An old shoulder injury once marred my daily life, turning the simple act of lifting a glass of water into an ordeal. Yet, I refrained from mentioning it until now. Remarkably, within the first week, it seemed as though Master Graeme’s profound wisdom had begun to resonate within me. With newfound awareness, I observed the asymmetry caused by my injured shoulder. But the real victory lies in the pain’s retreat, no longer a shadow over my days. Now, I’m on a path to rehabilitation, guided by the most exceptional therapist I’ve ever encountered.

Fantastic experience: After a recommendation from a friend, I booked an initial consultation with Graeme to try solve several pain points. I was welcomed on arrival and Graeme started by discussing his way of working and in general how he would proceed with the consultation. After several tests, Graeme concluding that most of my problems were due to one area and focused on working that. Within minutes we started to see small improvements and I now have an exercise plan to help improve and repair while at home. I'm looking forward to my follow up with Graeme and becoming pain free in the futute. I'd certainly recommend Graeme to anyone that is looking for a great Sports Therapist.

Fantastic experience: I've met with Graeme many times over the last few years and he is second to none. He explains complex matters in a very simple way, and leaves with you and understanding of what needs done moving forward. Most recently I emailed him regarding my hip pain. Going on a flight to Australia within 48 hours I was desperate for some sort of pain relief. Graeme emailed me back (which I later realised was his day off) and managed to fit me into his no doubt very busy day. He relieved me of pain and gave me great advice on what to do to prevent further pain on the plane. Looking for a physio? Don't look any further. Thanks Graeme, you made my 21 hour flight a helluva lot easier.

Fantastic experience: I had been unable to run for 18 months due to severe knee pain from IT band issues but after one session with Graeme the transformation has been amazing … built up the distance to 4k within a week of my first session and no pain. Thank you

Fantastic experience: Great studio space

Fantastic experience: Went to Strive with problems with migraines and tension headaches. Graham worked wonders, and managed to relieve my headaches. I get about two months of relief between the headaches so I will take that as a win. Look forward to my next appointment

Fantastic experience: I'm back running again now, after 2 months of rest but no recovery. Graham talks you thru everything you are doing and why.

Fantastic experience: I was extremely impressed with the treatment yesterday and within 24 hours I’ve noticed a considerable improvement in movement and also reduction in pain. I will defo use Graeme for all my training related issues moving forward by far the best I have been to for sure.

Fantastic experience: Treatment that works. Graeme is very good at explaining why pain is happening & how to fix it with the exercises he prescribes. Pretty much back to normal after 3 appointments.

Fantastic experience: Ive been volunteering and helping out Ukrainian refugees located in Kirkcaldy mainly translating jobs, one family with a teenage daughter needed professional help for the back pain, I instantly recommended Strive as Graeme been exceptional helping out my teenage son with a rugby injury. This morning, I’ve taken the mum and daughter to see Graeme, who was so welcoming, explained everything, showed what exercises to do and didn’t charge any fee. It was such a nice act of kindness, both mum and daughter are extremely grateful. And asked me to pass their thank yous to Graeme. Thank you very much

Positive experience: A very satisfying assessment and outcome re a food intolerance test which was different to what I’d expected but made sense to me. The test was straightforward with very good explanations.

Fantastic experience: I'm so grateful to Carrie. It was about 3 or 4 years ago I went to see Carrie for help with chronic digestive misery. I was a mess, not only physically, but mentally as well. After going down conventional routes with no results, I spent a few years messing about - on my own, relying on the internet and books - with different approaches to diet for gut and liver health. I just ended up utterly confused and had become anxious about eating almost anything. I'd read so many diverse opinions about foods that it felt like the only thing I'd not read anything negative about was courgette! Food anxiety is so miserable, you just can't enjoy eating anything. Carrie's attitude of ease around food was such a relief, it didn't take long for me to start to relax my own thinking. She was the perfect advisor and guide for me at that time when I was so desperate. I haven't had to return since because I manage my issues well now. I can eat - and enjoy! - a much wider variety of foods. Basically my food anxiety went from about 9/10 to zero. Thank you Carrie, I'll be eternally grateful!!

Fantastic experience: Friendly Professional great treatment and excellent service and advice

Fantastic experience: I had sprained my ankle I got services from strive and I felt much better.

Fantastic experience: I was recommended Strive - and Graeme in particular when I was suffering a very painful arm and shoulder affecting my mobility. I had been suffering for months and had tried alternative medication and acupuncture to no avail. My GP was pretty clueless and would only offer painkillers rather than trying to identify and treat the cause of the pain. I was having difficulty sleeping and even sitting was painful. After a few minutes of my first consultation Graeme had identified my issue as a rotator cuff injury and fully explained why my symptoms matched the injury. He then discussed a plan to repair the damage and build up strength in my arm. Massage and a series of exercises for me to conduct at home over the weeks built up my strength and mobility. After 5 sessions I have seen a remarkable improvement and I continue to attend Strive with the aim of a full recovery. I found Graeme extremely knowledgeable, professional and patient and I would definitely recommend him.

Fantastic experience: Just glad they are there. I never have to wait long to see someone. Many thanks for keeping me healthy. Archie Reid.

Fantastic experience: Carrie is very knowledgeable and knows how to put you at ease talking about body issues not many of us are comfortable discussing out load. Since my visit, it's really given me the motivation to focus my gut health and overall wellbeing.

Fantastic experience: After suffering from severe back pain for most of 2022 for the first time in my life and feeling like I’d never be pain-free again…little did I know 5 minutes down the road was Graeme at Strive, who helped me get back to living a normal life. I made more progress with Graeme in 1 session than I did in several sessions with chiropractors and physios throughout Fife that I had been recommended beforehand. I urge anyone with persistent back pain to go and see Graeme right away. I never once felt rushed out the door or ripped off like I had previously felt at other places I had been to. Graeme’s knowledge is second to none and he will thoroughly explain every test he carries out and why he is doing it. After finding out from an X-Ray that I had a tear on my thoracic spine, I was able to follow a plan that Graeme had devised for myself. I am now able to train at the gym, go to work and live a pain-free life again all thanks to Graeme. A very grateful customer.

Fantastic experience: From the moment you walk through the door Graeme makes you feel very welcome, he is extremely approachable and makes you feel at ease. Graeme is very professional, he listens to you and tailors a programme designed to your specific needs. Strive is a fantastic company and I highly recommend it. I will always go to Graeme for my aches and pains

Fantastic experience: I have been treated by both Carrie and Graeme, and they are both amazing. Both are completely professional and extremely knowledgeable in their separate fields. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Graeme, Sports Therapist at Strive. After suffering for years with shoulder/hand pain, a few sessions and personalized exercises from Graeme has made such a difference to me. I no longer wake up with pain. Following the advice I was given has made such a difference to allow me to enjoy my golf and life again. Great facilities/treatment room. Graeme is so professional and genuinely caring and I would thoroughly recommend his services to everyone.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic professional service, state of the art facilities. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: In depth diagnosis led to a clear roadmap to recovery with achievable milestones. Follow up ensured I was on track and stretch goals agreed. Cannot recommend Graeme's support highly enough.

Fantastic experience: Had treatment at Strive with Graeme who provided professional and efficient service. Also advised me on exercises to do at home.

Fantastic experience: Graeme fixed my plantar fasciitis that chiropractor and podiatrist could not, its never come back.

Fantastic experience: Excellent, couldn’t recommend Graeme enough. He’s helped me with my hamstring and not only fixed it but made it better than it ever was! 10/10

Fantastic experience: Ali is one of a kind! Great coach, that knows exactly how to bring the best out of his clients! And along the way, he helps you shift your mindset so that you learn how to stand on your own two feet and always strive for the best, whether he is working with you on a project, or you are working by yourself.

Fantastic experience: Very friendly and very knowledgable! I went with a pretty badly torn shoulder/arm muscle (rotator cuff to the professionals). Graeme investigated, gave sports massages, recommended repair work for me to do at home and showed me strengthening exercises to do at the gym. Very professional and effective stuff. I'd really recommend STRIVE!

Fantastic experience: Can’t recommend Strive enough. Amazing help and advice when dealing with an injury and showed a huge amount of care and patience.

Fantastic experience: Graeme always knows just how to fix whatever niggle or problem I have, is incredibly knowledgeable and I feel completely safe in his hands. If you need someone who knows their stuff, doesn’t bamboozle you with jargon and can fix your tight/sore/stiff spots then he’s your man!

Fantastic experience: Pure Genius. 20 months of pain with shoulder injury, after 2 sessions with Graeme pain has disappeared and shoulder functioning normally.True professional. Top bloke.

Fantastic experience: Amazing , iv had problems with my back and legs for years tried Bowen technique massages chiropractors etc everything nothing has worked I went for 1 treatment here and fell the beat iv felt in years. I am still sore but exited to see what the next sessions has for me. Very reasonable priced and amazing at his job. Definitely recommend

Positive experience: Now I'm testamony my problem ain't a sports injury,, However Strive was recommended and it's work in progress...

Fantastic experience: Graeme is a friendly, knowledgeable, totally professional sports therapist. I was anxious about attending the clinic but was very quickly made welcome and put at ease by Graeme's calm , efficient manner. He explained everything in a clear succinct way and put me at ease . After one session my knee felt much better and l left with the knowledge to self manage any further difficulty or return to see Graeme if l felt necessary. I highly recommend this practitioner for any injuries you may have .

Fantastic experience: After the best part of a year out of the gym with a Rotator Cuff injury, Graeme’s expert physio knowledge and wealth of sports therapy technique’s quickly identified specifically the source of my injury and developed a clear and effective plan to overcome it and come back stronger. Couldn’t recommend Graeme more highly for anyone, particularly people with any sports related injuries like myself.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend, professional and friendly service.

Fantastic experience: I'd recommend Graeme to anyone. Prompt and very knowledgeable attention.

Fantastic experience: After unfortunate kiteboarding incident, Graeme helped me to get back on water much earlier than I was anticipating. Extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic, definitely knows how to explain mechanics of injury, injury prevention and recovery processes. Could not recommend more!

Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Graeme for a number of sessions lately after a Motorcycle accident. Visiting him with a number of issues has proved invaluable for his knowledge and understanding of the problems i have and has seen most of them now sorted. I am now down to just one injury and i know in the coming weeks this too will be sorted. I cannot praise Graeme enough for all his hard work in this difficult time for me, his skills are second to none. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Brilliant consultation and back feels so much better after one visit. Liz Lindsay

Fantastic experience: Very welcoming and made to feel at ease , what can I say Graham definitely knows his stuff and gave me a good explanation of the treatment ahead , after 1 session and following my exercise plan I definitely feel better , can't wait to continue .

Fantastic experience: Really great service highly recommend

Fantastic experience: We searched for a nutritionalist to help with my son's depression and anxiety as the GP's were unsupportive. We discovered that poor gut health can lead to not only symptoms of depression and anxiety but a while host of health issues that are actually treatable. We followed all advice given and within 4 weeks the difference in mood and energy levels were fantastic! It has been a bit of a transition to a healthier way of eating but it has been enjoyable and encouraged home cooking and self learning about different food groups and our health. The bonus is losing weight in my support of following my son's healthy eating to support him. Carrie was very helpful in guiding us along the way and I have no doubt that should we need to, we will continue to go back to Carrie for further advice. I wish I knew about this sooner. I would highly recommend a visit with Carrie to see what she can do for you.

Fantastic experience: A most professional and yet friendly service. Already feeling the benefits of treatment from a knowledgeable clinician. I will certainly use the facility again as required by my well used body. Would suggest the way in be highlighted on the site entrance and the parking is a tad tight. I have already recommended to friends. Terrific find.

Fantastic experience: Good work, very knowledgeable, I was able to get back to sporting activity with confidence.

Fantastic experience: Appointment commenced at scheduled time. Procedure courteously and professionally explained and carried out. Would highly recommend Graeme Temple attend your needs.

Fantastic experience: Very good approach to addressing long term issues and fixing them. Exercises are targeted to improve the strength and flexibility and decrease the pain

Fantastic experience: Perfect professional!!

Fantastic experience: What a lovely experience, very helpful and understanding, Carrie made me feel welcome and at ease. Well worth it. Premises were lovely too.

Fantastic experience: Professional services, sports therapy, flexibility training and nutritional therapy. All run by dedicated experts. The excellent Kuk Sool Won Kirkcaldy martial arts school is also here

Fantastic experience: Great service from Strive. I attended for a functional fitness assessment and can't recommend Graeme enough. Very thorough assessment with clear explanations and advice which was easy to follow and manageable.

Fantastic experience: I've been treated at Strive Therapy Hub by both Carrie and Graeme. A fabulous place, I have loved the advice and treatment I've had here. Thanks for your help. :-)

Fantastic experience: I had pain in my hip when running, when I was recommended Graeme from strive from a friend. He was extremely knowledagble and explained everything very well. I felt the number of appointments I was given was ideal, and the exercises have helped a lot! I am continuing with the exercises but if I was to ever have a sports injury again, I would not hesitate to contact strive!

Fantastic experience: Having broken my fibula on New Year's Day injured soft tissue as well as the bone. Just one session with Graeme and it is feeling so much better and he has identified how to build strength back, highly recommend

Fantastic experience: First time user of Strive. Found the whole set up very professional & Graeme certainly appears to know his stuff. Fingers crossed I'm on the road to recovery!

Fantastic experience: Azra is an excellent practitioner, ensuring you are comfortable and working with great skill. Her integrative approach to the body and emotion enables your sessions to be targeted to your individual needs. Her work is a salve, leaving both emotionally and physically stronger.

Fantastic experience: I had a braw wee introductery with Ali, so, I will be going back as i havnt been coached before and i need to do something and Ide like Ali's help in doing this. Im also getting help with nutrition from Carrie who is jist a pleasant wee force that encourages you to move closer to your goals you set with her. Its now six months on from the previous paragragh and we've spent the appointment going over some cool successes and then looking at my sticking points aswell. So,I'm now moving forward on the sticking points and cant want to show more progress on my next appointment with Carrie.

Fantastic experience: I went for nutrition and wellbeing advice recently, In my appointment no stone was left unturned regarding health and diet. Excellent service.

Fantastic experience: After recovering from a broken ankle in 3 places, I visited Graeme to help with strengthening the ankle and work on walking without a limp. I was very impressed with his knowledge and professionalism. He explains everything thoroughly and I felt a difference in my flexibility after the first appointment. I would highly recommend Graeme as his expertise is excellent and he makes it obvious that he cares greatly about what he does.

Fantastic experience: I have suffered with chronic hip/back/foot pain since 2011. I have seen various professionals over the year's but nothing has really helped. Life was a daily struggle. My brother suggested I go and see his Sport's Therapist. I made an appointment with Graeme. His knowledge and experience blew me away! I immediately felt hope that things should improve for me. After only 7 sessions, over 9 week's my results are amazing!! It was a painful experience re-training my muscles at times but I persevered and put in the work myself at home. I barely have any pain now and feel like I can do anything! I am so grateful for all the advice and tools Graeme has given me. I am living life in a more positive way now. I would definitely recommend Graeme and his team at Strive to everyone. Thank you :)

Fantastic experience: Graham provided a very professional service and assisted me with recovery during a hip issue. He provided me with all the tools needed to aid me back to health.

Fantastic experience: My Reflexology/Reiki session with Mandy was most relaxing and revitalising. My neck and shoulders felt much freer afterwards, and I have had more energy since.

Fantastic experience: I started seeing Graeme during my training for the London Marathon aa was getting a variety of niggles including shin splints. Hardly surprising given that I was going from couch to marathon and was erm out of condition. Graeme was very knowledgeable and took a holistic approach to resolving the issues I was having. At every session he explained at length how the body works and interconnects to help me understand why I was having problems and importantly what I could do to relieve and prevent injuries during my training. It’s not an exaggeration to say that I wouldn’t have been on the starting line without Graeme’s help. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Second session with Graeme and he has worked wonders on my leg. Full of knowledge and useful advice. Would never hesitate in recommending strive to anyone as they are a truly professional and effective therapy hub.

Fantastic experience: Vicky is amazing works miracles and so friendly explains everything

Fantastic experience: Food intolerance test with Carrie was excellent. Extremely knowledgeable and happy to discuss changes to help manage the outcome. Would definitely recommend.

Fantastic experience: I have been having treatment on a painful knee problem for the last few weeks. Graeme listens carefully to the problem, does not make a quick diagnosis but works week to week with my condition. I feel that he is a very knowledgeable therapist who knows his profession. I would have no hesitation in recommending Graeme to anyone with muscle or joint pain, he is first class.

Fantastic experience: Graeme provided treatment and guidance on training to help me recover from a sports injury, and I think this has been key to getting back to my sport. Graeme provides insight into treatment and sets up a friendly and relaxed environment.

Fantastic experience: Been struggling with a shoulder injury for nearly a year of training and competing in Powerlifting, Graeme has helped so much not just in the therapy side of things but also giving me the knowledge to help prevent further injury with tips and warmups for me to do, can’t recommend enough.

Fantastic experience: I've had back pain for most of my life, and I know there is no miracle cure - but I've lost count of the number of therapists I've been to in order to manage it. Apart from one other magician (now in New Zealand), Graeme is the only one who has made a real and lasting difference. His combination of massage and exercise has made a huge difference to my life over the last 6 months. I cannot recommend him highly enough!

Fantastic experience: Vicki is great have had a few sessions over 3 months, would highly recommend.
