she is a licensed massage therapist. as far as I know.  So, by saying 'body rub', they believe they are getting around that law.  In truth, I have no idea it they really are.  However, I'm pretty sure that a body run will be a fairly sensual massage.  Sensual massages, or 'body rubs' will normally end in some form of happy ending for you.

I've searched reviews here for massage providers.  Two of them have told me they do not do "massage", they do "bodyrub".  Didn't know there was a difference as far as hobby providers are concerned.  I assume you get a happy ending with both. Is a massage more of a full body rub (front and back) before the HE and the bodyrub just rubs you a few times and gives a HE?  Do veterans know of any distinction between the two, based on their experiences?

that one is a licensed massage therapist and the other is not. The non licensed person cannot advertise as a massage therapist and calls it a body rub, which could also involve a tug job or a titty bang where as a licensed MT will more than likely not offer something like that or they could lose their license.

make it illegal to advertise massage without a license.

In areas where it is illegal to offer massage without being a licensed massage therapist, you can indeed be busted for advertising "massage" without a license. Even if your services are completely non-sexual you are still breaking the law.

So to lessen the heat, they advertise "body rubs" - this way they don't run afoul of the people tasked with monitoring massage licenses. And if they do get arrested for prostitution, they won't have an additional charge of massage license violation.

Advertising massage without a license is actually a worse offense than prostitution. (the offense is akin to practicing medicine without a license) Because of laws like that, providers tend to avoid the phrase across the country regardless of state.
