Nucleus Muscular Therapy & Pilates
Welcome to Nucleus Muscular Therapy & Pilates
Nucleus Muscular Therapy & Pilates began operating in 2005 in Cork, Ireland before opening in Adelaide, South Australia in 2008. Founded by Letti Kemp who had spent many years working in the leisure industry as a Personal Trainer and Leisure Centre Manager. Letti saw a gap in the market for a quality individually tailored fitness, rehabilitation and progressive programme for those wishing to begin, or increase fitness and/or return to sport following injury. Basically, a one stop shop where an individual could recieve both massage therapy and a fitness programme of a sound and high quality.
Nucleus is multi faceted, and offers both physical exercise and therapy services to both amateur and professional athletes and the general public. Among it's client listings are Olympic Athletes, Pro Tour and Professional Cyclists and Members of Munster Rugby.

Pilates
"You will feel better in 10 sessions, look better in 20 sessions, and have a completely new body in 30 sessions.” Joseph Pilates
What Is Pilates?
Pilates, created by Joseph Pilates back in the 1900s. Traditionally used by professional dancers to keep their muscles supple, strong and flexible. Joseph Pilates created a routine of body-sculpting movements to improve posture, strengthen muscles and firm the abdominals and back, all without using weights.
Pilates may remind you of yoga with its intense concentration on body position, breathing and balance, but it's more dynamic in that you move through poses and movements rather than hold static poses as in some forms of yoga. Pilates exercises are generally performed with very few repetitions, but each one is precise, controlled and moves through several planes of motion.
No matter your age, gender, body shape, fitness level - Pilates is suitable for everyone, at any time. Pilates is a way of life, for life!
Classes are run on a One to One basis in the comfort of your own home or at Nucleus Treatment Rooms.

Personal Training & Healthstyle Programming
Personal training can take whatever form you are interested in. It may be toning, pilates, running, cycling, kickboxing, weight training…the list is endless!
With the assistance of a personal trainer, your goals are set at an achievable level. The workouts are designed specifically for you, for short term gain leading to long term benefits.
So what can I expect? Well, first things first, you need to get to know your trainer and vice versa – so we chat! It is at this stage that the goals are set and sessions discussed.
Secondly, a number of physiological tests are carried out to determine your present health status, body fat count, weight and fitness level. Sounds daunting? Rest assured that this is carried out in private, with your trainer and all information is kept strictly confidential. This is your starting point and will be referred to as the sessions go on to monitor progress.
Next the workouts begin…… this can be completed at a gym, outside, in your home (wherever you decide), your trainer can work out alongside you or you might decide to just have your trainer present. Either way, with your trainer with you, motivation will remain high and you will be pushed to acheive your desired goal.
Healthstyle Programming
Some people either do not wish to have a trainer with them, or just need a little direction on how to set their workout programme, lose a little weight, make a positive health change. As with the inital meeting/s for personal training sessions, your Personal Trainer will meet with you. Following this, a programme will be drawn up to include an exercise programme and tips on nutrition for you to follow. You will be given a set period to follow this programme before a new assessment and programme is written.
Child Health & Fitness
Letti began studying and working with children many years ago. Working with children with special needs and challenging behaviours, Letti learnt that sport is a tool that breaks down barriers, encourages participation and fosters friendships. Although no longer working in this field, Letti is still passionate about promoting health and fitness to children and young adults, Nucleus offers an age related programme for this client grouping.
Child Fitness Programmes (Groups & individual): Circuit training, resistance training, cardio-vascular exercise designed around the needs and interests of this young age group
Child Pilates: Taught in small groups of 4-5. This focuses on promoting correct posture, increasing flexibility, learning about how the body works and encouraging positive body awareness. One to One sessions also available
Paediatric Sports Therapy (up to 18yrs)
At a young age when a child is still growing, it is immensely important to ensure that any injury incurred doesn't go unchecked and corrected. It stands to reason any imbalance sustained now, may cause ongoing problems as the child develops. Resulting in long term imbalances and discomfort continuing through to adulthood. Treatments are massage based, and may use stretching, heat or cold therapy to aid recovery.
Appointments are available as half hour or hourly.
** Please note parental supervision & permission is required throughout treatment for those under the age of 16
Testimonials & Clients
Kevin Field, Team Director, Symmetrics Cycling Team, Canada.
"During more than twenty years of doing cycling type things as a rider and team director Letti Kemp is one of the best therapists/soigneurs I've worked with. I've been side by side with Letti at bike races in Japan, North America and Ireland, and I look forward to working with her whenever I can. She always goes above and beyond what you'd expect, and that makes the challenging job of being team staff go smooth.
She inspires confidence from the outset and the guys always rave about her rubs. That's so important for putting the athletes at ease and helping them focus on the race when they know they'll be well cared for when race is done."
Andrew Randell, Professional Cyclist, Symmetrics Cycling Team,Canada. National Elite Men's Champion '02.
"The best therapist I’ve worked with. My victory in Stage 4 of the 2002 Milk Ras is thanks to her fantastic skills. Coming into the Ras that year I was completely wrecked and Letti pulled me through. Since then I’ve had the pleasure of working with her on numerous other races. She is the consummate professional and her skill shows on the massage table and beyond. At each of the events we have done together there has been someone on the team that needed special ministration and Letti has always pulled them through the tough spots – and this in the middle of a bike race, not the ideal therapy situation. Thanks Letti for saving my butt and putting in all that hard work."
Helen C, Massage Client.
"I have been a client of Letti for 9 years now. I firstly met her through the hotel she worked in and attended her fitness classes which really impressed me. I then attended her for deep tissue massage and am continuing to do so. I 've found Letti to be very punctual, attentive and extremely good at her profession. I would have no hesitation in recommending her to family and friends and have actually done so."
Jim Williams, Assistant Coach Wallabies Rugby Team Australia & former player/coach Munster Rugby.
"I first met Letti in 2001 when I moved to Ireland and joined Munster Rugby as a player. My wife and I attended Letti for both fitness programmes and massage during her time at the Kingsley Hotel in Cork, and continued to do so in her own practice up until we moved to Sydney in June '08.Letti is a hard worker, well known and respected. I would have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone interested in enlisting her services."
Sheila Kiely, Pilates Client.
"As a client of Letti Kemp’s over the past couple of years I have no hesitation in highly recommending her as a Pilates instructor. Letti’s approach is both professional and friendly and you feel that she really gets to know the client and their individual strengths and preferences. Each session is varied and tailored to your ability with routines being constantly modified so that you never know what is coming next. I personally have felt the benefits of my sessions with Letti with a big improvement of my core strength and overall muscle tone."
Fred "Fast Freddie" Rodriguez, Professional Cyclist, Rock Racing.
"Letti goes above and beyond her responsibilities. She always attends to every detail. She's well-organized and always has the rider's best interests in mind."
Sean Weide, Elevation Sports & Entertainment | Rock Racing/BMC Racing
"Letti redefines the position of soigneur by exceeding every rider and fellow staff members' expectations. In the face of long hours, a gruelling workload and the occasional obstacle, she always maintains an upbeat attitude and has a smile on her face. Experience counts for a lot in this business and Letti has plenty of it. Her attention to detail and forward-looking focus removes distractions, allowing riders to concentrate on what they do best - race their bicycles."
Emma Martin, Sports Development Officer & Soccer Player.
“I'm a female soccer player with local club and county teams. I've been visiting Letti for over 18months now and would highly recommend her to anyone. Letti has a very professional attitude and extremely knowledgeable in her field. She enabled me to recover faster and minimized my chances of re-injury.”
Colm B, Injury Rehabilitation and Massage Client.
"I was told by two qualified sports injury physios that I should not walk more than 15 mins on flat ground. That was in 2003. Letti treated me for a period of approx 2 years........in 2009 I climbed Ireland's highest mountain twice and Ireland's 2nd highest four times. Letti changed my life. Thank you"
