In 2018 I suffered my 5th osteoporotic fragility spinal fracture that left me unable to leave the house for 4 months and finally spelled an end to my business, Bodytopia™ Myotherapy.
Since my first osteoporotic fracture in 2010, I attempted many times to return to physically helping clients reduce and manage their pain from a wide range of common and sometimes uncommon, physical, emotional and mental health issues. I was known as "the therapist of last resort!". Clients and other manual therapists referred people me knowing my reputation for being able to help them when no-one else could. Sadly, my back would hold up for a while and then another spinal fracture would occur. I am now 10cm shorter than before my first injury, so severe is my kyphosis. 
I passed on my client list to remedial massage therapist Sonoko Kurotani as her approach, knowledge and skills were the closest to mine.

It also ended my teaching career as I was unable to sit or stand for any length of time.
