I don't know what to reply. my stepmother in a 5 ft 1 inch tall women, weighs about 130 ld. I don't see how it is possible for her to claim all that injury. please advise. Thank you "

Well tell her that since she has a lawyer you can't communicate with her. Ask that her lawyer communicate with you and explain why you're liable, factually and more importantly legally.
If you need more help don't hesitate in asking for limited representation to respond to a demand letter.
Your insurance will handle this for you, it is what it is for.
Look to see whether your policy says "professional service exclusion." It would mean the injury from the massage is not a covered event. Best of luck.
