No. That’s not what I said. I said spas are considered the same. Don’t confuse body rubs with holistic massage spas. Body rub is licensed as adult services. Holistic massage is licensed to provide services such as shiatsu massage. Holistic massage are supposed to be referred to a spas although body rubs have commandeered the name as well.
Definition: SPA - a commercial establishment offering health and beauty treatment through such means as steam baths, exercise equipment, and massage.
Body rub is not really a spa but their common use of the name has created confusion. Body rubs are supposed to be referred to as body rub parlours, not spas.
Holistic massage is really supposed to be called holistic centre.
In general reference, spa would usually mean a place of massage not a place of adult services. Body rub licensed establishments don’t want to go around putting a sign on the front of their building saying body rub so they put spa.
Sorry for the confusion. I should be more specific next time when referring to the different types of services.
