Country music star LeAnn Rimes recently sought intensive treatment to address significant jaw pain and chronic bodily tension. The Grammy winner documented the process, which involved a deep jaw release technique designed to alleviate physical stress.

Emotional Release During Jaw Therapy

The Deep Jaw Release Procedure

On March 29, wellness company Human Garage shared an Instagram video featuring co-founder Garry Lineham administering the therapy to Rimes. The footage captured the 43-year-old singer lying down as Lineham inserted his finger into her mouth to realign her jaw structure.

During the procedure, Rimes was heard exclaiming, "Oh, my God" multiple times. This vocalization preceded an overwhelming wave of relief that triggered uncontrollable crying fits.

Instructions for Letting Go

As the country star shed tears, Lineham instructed her to vocalize a statement of closure. He told her to say, "That part of my life is over."

Following the release, Rimes acknowledged the depth of her stored stress, stating, "Oh, my God. You just don’t realize how much tension is in there."

Understanding Fascia and Stress Storage

Human Garage's Perspective on Healing

Human Garage supported Rimes' experience in the video caption, noting that healing is not always silent. They explained that the process often involves a physical letting go of burdens previously unknown. The jaw, they noted, is a primary location where the body stores stress.

The company elaborated that when individuals suppress their voice or endure excessive pressure, the fascia in the face and neck can lock up as a protective measure. Using these specific maneuvers helps signal safety to the nervous system, allowing stored energy to finally move.

Rimes' History with Tension

This was not the first time Rimes discussed her struggles with fascia tension. In a March 23 Instagram post, she detailed her lifelong battle with bracing tension in her jaw, neck, and shoulders, specifically mentioning TMJ issues.

The "Blue" hitmaker emphasized the impact on her instrument, stating that tightness affects her breathing, expression, and ability to sing freely. She mentioned exploring numerous healing avenues, including nutrition, hormones, therapy, and supplements, before discovering fascia work.

Finding Freedom Through Treatment

Rimes credited her discovery of Garry Lineham and Human Garage as a breakthrough in an area she hadn't fully explored. She concluded her post by sharing the positive outcome: "On the other side of it, I’m experiencing a level of freedom and openness in my body that I haven’t felt in a long time."

This revelation follows recent health events for the singer, including undergoing a $10,000 blood-cleaning treatment in January, months after experiencing an incident where her teeth fell out onstage.

Rimes' Ongoing Career Commitments

Despite these personal health challenges, Rimes remains active professionally. Her "30 Years of Blue" tour is scheduled to continue running through July.
