About the Therapist
Arthur de Luis graduated from the West Coast College of Massage Therapy in 1989 and started working in the South Surrey/White Rock area in August. He is a founding member of the Ocean Park Massage Therapy Clinic, which has been in its present location since 1991.
Arthur has a broad-based practice in which he treats all musculoskeletal disorders and injuries. He uses several techniques from various disciplines, including Swedish massage, trigger point therapy, applied somatics, and craniosacral therapy. Arthur’s formal training in craniosacral therapy comes from the Upledger Institute. Still, he has also had many years of informal training through Howard Jones, a noted expert in the field, of whom he was a patient for 16 years.
​
Arthur feels it is essential for his patients to participate in their recovery and dispense therapeutic exercises when appropriate.

About the Therapist
Shauna graduated from West Coast College of Massage Therapy in 1999 from the 3,000-hour program. After graduating, she ran Semiahmoo Therapeutic Massage Clinic before joining the RMTs at Ocean Park Massage Therapy Clinic, where she is the owner/operator and full-time Registered Massage Therapist.
Shauna loves her role as an RMT and working with her patients. She enjoys treating, educating, and enhancing each individual's well-being. She believes people need to be active participants in their healthcare. Shauna also provides her patients with various forms of home care, such as stretching and strengthening.
Shauna treats multiple chronic and acute conditions, young and old, and all muscles within our scope. She has had success with muscle energy techniques when they are applied to the pelvis. She has attended conferences and professional development courses to learn the latest techniques to help her patients.
While noted for her deep tissue treatment, Shauna can be very light for craniosacral therapy and manual lymph drainage.
Shauna brings strength, knowledge, and laughter to her table. If she’s not with her family, she plays with her horse in her spare time.

How to Prepare for Your Massage Therapy Session
Preparing for your massage therapy session can help you maximize its benefits. Here are some helpful tips to get the most out of your appointment with a massage therapist in White Rock:
-
Hydrate before and after: Drinking water is essential before your session to keep your muscles hydrated and after to flush out toxins released during the massage. Proper hydration supports muscle recovery and promotes overall wellness.
-
Communicate your needs: Share details about your health, areas of discomfort, or any specific goals for the session with your therapist. This open dialogue helps create a treatment plan that caters to your unique requirements.
-
Dress comfortably: Wear loose-fitting clothing to ensure an easy transition into relaxation. Comfortable attire also allows for flexibility if stretches or exercises are recommended post-treatment.
-
Arrive early to relax: Arriving a few minutes early helps you settle in and adjust to the tranquil clinic atmosphere. This extra time allows you to shift your focus from daily stressors to personal wellness.
-
Breathe and focus: Relax your body and mind by practicing deep breathing during the session. Deep breaths enhance relaxation, improve circulation, and make your massage more effective.
Benefits of Massage Therapy
Massage therapy is an effective and natural way to address physical and emotional challenges. Some of the significant benefits include:
-
Relief from pain and muscle tension: Massage helps reduce chronic and acute pain by releasing muscle tightness and improving joint flexibility.
-
Stress reduction: Lowering cortisol levels can help ease anxiety, improve mood, and create a sense of calm.
-
Improved circulation: Better blood flow facilitates oxygen and nutrient delivery to tissues, aiding recovery and overall health.
-
Enhanced posture and alignment: Targeted treatments alleviate imbalances caused by poor posture, reducing strain and tension.
-
Better sleep quality: Relaxation and reduced discomfort often lead to more restful sleep.
-
Rehabilitation support: Regular sessions can accelerate recovery from injuries and improve mobility.
-
Headache and migraine relief: Effective in easing tension headaches by reducing stress and relaxing muscle groups.
Whether seeking relief from a specific condition or looking to enhance your general wellness, working with a massage therapist in White Rock offers a wide array of health benefits.

Happy Customer Reviews
Here’s what our clients have to say about us:
Excellent Massage Therapists
“I’ve been going to a Ocean Park Massage Therapy for over 10 years and couldn’t recommend the clinic highly enough. Shauna is awesome and I’ve sent people to her to work her magic on. I’ve been going to Vicki for years, and she’s helped me though more stress related issues and physical trauma then I would wish on anyone. I sent my mum to Arthur every time she came to visiting me, so I have come to know the therapists of the clinic well. If you are looking for professional, effective, and truly excellent massage therapists, you found the right place.”
