Narla is counting sheep in her physio sessions. She attends for treatment on her Gracilis myopathy. This injury is common within actives breeds such as German Shepards.
In gracilis myopathy, the gracilis muscle undergoes fibrosis and contracture, which means that normal muscle fibers are gradually replaced by fibrous scar tissue. This process leads to a loss of elasticity and flexibility in the muscle, causing it to shorten and tighten.
This condition is typically degenerative and recurrent, often linked to repetitive strain or overuse, particularly in active or working dogs.
