How will NCA facilitate my learning if I don't want to undress in practical classes?

Students learn in practical classes by palpating each other to find bony landmarks, muscles, acupuncture points, changes in temperature, feel swelling etc. At all times your privacy is respected and only the relevant body part is exposed. If for religious reasons, you can only be palpated by members of the same gender, this will be respected. If there are mixed genders in the classroom, screens will be used as you work with someone of the same gender.

If for medical reasons you are unable to be palpated or needled, you will work in groups of three so you will not have to be the 'model' yourself.

Some palpation and massage techniques can be done over clothes, but to be needled, the body part needs to be exposed.
