Amatsu History
Dennis Bartram
Amatsu therapy, in its modern form within the Amatsu Foundation, has been developed by Dennis Bartram who was inspired by his mentor Dr Massaki Hatsumi, the living grandmaster of this ancient healing art.
Dennis was taught the fundamental ‘heart feeling’ and techniques of Amatsu by Dr. Hatsumi, which he has researched and translated into a modern western framework taught today only by Dennis’s approved schools. The Japanese symbol translated to mean ‘mysterious hands’ was drawn by Dr. Hatsumi especially for Dennis during one of his visits to Japan in recognition of his personal expertise and excellence in Amatsu.
