Country Star LeAnn Rimes Reports Severe TMJ Pain… Bursts Into Tears After ‘Deep Jaw Release’ Treatment

Country singer LeAnn Rimes is drawing major attention after revealing a bold treatment process aimed at easing chronic jaw joint (TMJ) tension that has plagued her for decades.

■ “My body has been tensing up as if it were preparing for something”… an admission of pain

In a video shared on LeAnn Rimes’ official Instagram on the 31st, she said she recently underwent a specialized fascial relaxation procedure called ‘Deep Jaw Release’ from the expert Garry Lineham of ‘Human Garage’.

In the released video, LeAnn Rimes burst into intense tears as if suppressed emotions had suddenly erupted the moment the specialist inserted their hand into her mouth and adjusted her jaw alignment. She said, “I didn’t realize how much tension had been building up inside my jaw,” and described the sense of relief she felt right after the treatment, repeatedly exclaiming “Oh my God” as she was overcome with emotion.

■ A struggle to protect the “instrument” that’s the source of her singing ability

Through a post shared on the 23rd, LeAnn Rimes said, “For as long as I can remember, my body has been gripping tight with tension in my jaw, neck, and shoulders, as if bracing for something.” She added that, “Because my job is centered on my voice—my instrument—this stiffness has affected not only physical pain, but also my breathing, my expressiveness, and even the freedom to sing.”

She said she tried a variety of approaches, including nutrition intake, hormone regulation, nervous system treatments, and psychological counseling, but didn’t see much of an effect. However, after coming across recent research on ‘fascia,’ she realized that emotional weight her body hadn’t managed to process was putting the fascia into a ‘lock’ state. She added that, through this procedure, she finally experienced her body feeling lighter.

■ Even amid rumors of repeated health issues, she doesn’t stop her ‘Blue’ tour

This isn’t the first time there has been attention on LeAnn Rimes’ health management. After an accident last year during a performance in which her dentures came loose, she said that in January of this year she received a ‘Plasma Exchange’ procedure to remove ‘microscopic toxins’ from her body, along with stem cell therapy to help with regeneration.

She emphasized the importance of self-care, saying, “Amid busy filming and tour schedules, my body is being pushed too hard. Most of all, it’s important to listen to what my body is telling me in order to stay in the best condition.”

Meanwhile, LeAnn Rimes is currently carrying out a ‘30 Years of Blue’ world tour to celebrate her 30th anniversary since debut. With a strong determination to recover her health, she plans to continue the long journey scheduled through July.
