Ms Hemingway qualified from Manchester University in 1996 and completed her early clinical training at Salford Royal Infirmary, where she gained experience treating patients with neurological, respiratory, and musculoskeletal conditions.

Her career spans both NHS and elite sporting environments, having worked with professional and Olympic level athletes. Ms Hemingway has provided physiotherapy services to Burnley Football Club, Wigan Warriors and Huddersfield Giants Rugby League Clubs, The Lawn Tennis Association, and the English Institute of Sport supporting UK Olympic and Paralympic athletes.

She has worked in a private practice and developed specialist expertise in orthopaedic rehabilitation, particularly following upper limb and complex shoulder surgery. She has worked closely with shoulder surgeons, developing rehabilitation programmes after complex shoulder repair.

Ms Hemingway has worked as a Fitness to Practice Partner with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) for the past six years. She has an in-depth knowledge of physiotherapy professional standards, conduct and the regulatory framework of physiotherapy and is able to utilise this knowledge when reviewing professional practice.

In 2001, as part of her Master’s degree in Sports Injury and Therapy at Manchester Metropolitan University, her research project led to a presentation at a conference; her paper, ‘Changes in muscle strength and pain in response to surgical repair of posterior abdominal wall disruption followed by rehabilitation’ was published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine in 2003.
