Adult Wrapping -The Japanese Therapy Craze That Recreates the Comforting Feeling of a Womb

脑洞大开！岛国发明“仿子宫成人包裹术”！

Otona Maki, or 'adult wrapping', is a Japanese therapeutic method of correcting posture and alleviating body stiffness by wrapping the human body in a large piece of cloth that emulates the comfortable feel of a mother's womb.

“仿子宫成人包裹术”是日本矫正体态、缓解全身僵硬的一种疗法。这种疗法需要把人裹进仿子宫环境的布料中去。

Otona Maki is not a mainstream practice in Japan, but after recently being featured on a popular television program, more and more people are talking about it and giving it a try. The idea behind this bizarre looking therapeutic practice is to tightly wrap the human body (in various poses) in a large piece of breathable cloth for about 15-20 minutes per session. Babies are often wrapped the same way to correct minor physical defects and give them a feeling of security, and otona maki aims to do the same for adults.

“仿子宫成人包裹术”虽然在日本还没成为主流，但最近却在主流电视频道中频频播放。越来越多的人提起它，也想亲身试试看。这种奇特的疗法要把人以各种姿势，裹进一块透气布料中去，每次需要15-20分钟。曾有人这样把婴儿裹起来，在保证他们安全感的情况下，来矫正轻微身体缺陷，“仿子宫成人包裹术”打算在成人身上这么操作。

I'll be the first to admit that it looks pretty weird, but according to Yayoi Katayama of Japanese blog Vienna-Juku, there are real benefits to practicing adult wrapping.

“我承认这看起来非常奇怪，但确实对身体有所帮助。”日本博主Yayoi Katayama表示。

As we all know, babies and young children have very flexible spines, but as we grow up, most of us lose that flexibility. After going through several sessions with your body fixed in a certain position for a short amount of time, you can regain that natural flexibility and improve posture. Yayoi calls the practice a way to reset your body, and claims that after taking part in a session, she also felt relaxed and rejuvenated.

众所周知，婴幼儿的脊柱柔韧性很好，但随着年龄的增长，我们大多数人会失去当初的柔韧性。但如果让身体短时保持特定姿势，几个疗程下来，人体就会重获天生的柔韧度、改善体态。Yayoi把这种疗法叫做“重启身体”，她说一段理疗后，感觉自己身体放松下来并重回活力。

But despite Japan's appetite for the bizarre, otona maki seems a bit too weird even for them. People comparing it to a mummification technique, or making references to Japanese horror films.

虽然岛国人民口味本来就重，但这种疗法对他们来说还是难以接受。他们觉得这简直就是在做木乃伊，跟日本恐怖片没什么两样。

Otona Maki was apparently developed by Professor Nobuko Watanabe, known for creating the Toco Chan maternity belt, a very popular product in Japan. A 30-minute adult wrapping session costs 3240 yen ($28), while 50 minutes inside the cloth womb costs 6480 ($56).

“仿子宫成人包裹术”由日本Nobuko Watanabe教授研发，他还发明了一款名为Toco Chan的孕妇拖腹带，在日本相当流行。这个重口味的疗法价格还不便宜：3240日元（28美元）30分钟，6480日元（56美元）50分钟。
