An increasingly popular holiday: Wrapped people stay in the fetal position

In Japan, the unusual therapeutic method of otonamaki, which involves wrapping a person in a white cloth to reduce stiffness and solve posture problems, is becoming increasingly popular, Anadolu Agency (AA) reports.

Otonamaki loosely translates to "wrapping adults", and the idea came from a similar Japanese therapeutic method, ohinamaki, which is practiced to strengthen the physical predispositions of babies.

The idea is that during the 20-minute therapy, the human body is held in positions that imitate the position of the fetus in the womb.

Many Japanese companies offer autonomaki therapy to their employees and clients, which seems to be successful, although the public was initially skeptical because it all looks a bit creepy.
