LeAnn Rimes Breaks Down After ‘Deep Jaw Release’ Session in Emotional Video

Country singer LeAnn Rimes became visibly emotional during a filmed wellness session aimed at relieving chronic jaw tension, breaking down in tears after undergoing a hands-on technique known as a “deep jaw release.”

A video, shared March 29 by wellness group Human Garage on Instagram, shows Rimes undergoing what the group calls a “deep jaw release,” a technique intended to relieve tension in the jaw. During the procedure, Rimes repeatedly says, “Oh my God,” as co-founder Garry Lineham guides the process.

“You got it, hold on,” Lineham tells Rimes while adjusting her jaw. Moments later, Rimes begins crying.

Lineham then tells her to say “that part of my life is over,” to which Rimes responds, “That part of my life better be over.”

Following the session, Rimes appears visibly emotional, suggesting the release of built-up tension. “Oh my God, you just don’t realize how much tension is in there,” she says in the video. “Until it’s gone,” Lineham replies.

In the caption accompanying the post, Human Garage described the technique as a way to address stored stress in the body. “Healing isn’t always quiet. Sometimes, it’s a physical letting go of things we didn’t even know we were carrying,” the group wrote, adding that the jaw can act as a “primary storage site” for stress when the body is under pressure.

“When we hold back our voice or push through pressure, the fascia in the face and neck ‘locks’ to protect us,” the caption reads. “By using the maneuvers to signal safety to the nervous system, we can finally allow that stored energy to move.”

Rimes shared her experience in a separate Instagram post, writing that she has dealt with persistent tension for much of her life. “For as long as I can remember, my body has held tension like it’s been bracing for something,” she wrote. “My jaw, my neck, my shoulders … especially the TMJ [temporomandibular joint], it’s never really let go.”

She added that the condition has affected her breathing and vocal performance. “As someone whose voice is literally my instrument, that kind of tightness doesn’t just live in the body; it shows up in how I breathe, how I express, how freely I can sing.” She revealed having pursued multiple forms of treatment over the years before exploring fascia-based techniques.

The post follows other recent health-related disclosures from Rimes. In 2025, she said her dental bridge fell out mid-performance while singing “One Way Ticket” at a Washington state venue.

“I feel something pop in my mouth,” she said in a video shared afterward, explaining that she briefly left the stage to reposition the bridge before continuing the show. “For the rest of the show … I was literally like this, pushing my teeth in, like every couple lines,” she added.

TMJ affects the joint connecting the jaw to the skull. According to the Mayo Clinic, the condition can cause pain in the face, neck, and ears, along with difficulty chewing, clicking in the jaw, and limited movement.

Treatments vary and may include physical therapy, relaxation techniques, and targeted exercises to relieve tension.
