Sports Massage vs. Deep Tissue Massage: Which One Is Right for You?

Whether you’re hitting the trails, training for a race, or simply trying to stay active without pain, bodywork plays an essential role in recovery and performance. At Total Body Chiropractic in Bend, Oregon, we help active individuals — from runners and cyclists to weekend warriors and outdoor lovers — understand how different therapeutic approaches enhance healing and support overall wellness.

Two of the most commonly recommended massage techniques are sports massage and deep tissue massage. They both offer powerful benefits, but they’re not interchangeable. Choosing the right therapeutic massage can make a meaningful difference in your recovery time, pain levels, and long-term performance. Let’s break down what each is, how they differ, and which may be best for your needs — especially in conjunction with chiropractic care.

What Is Sports Massage?

Sports massage therapy is a targeted therapeutic approach designed specifically for athletes and active people. The focus is on muscles used during physical activity, and techniques are tailored to support performance, prevent injury, and improve flexibility and range of motion.

Unlike a general relaxation Swedish massage, sports massage incorporates specific movements — such as stretching, compression, and trigger point therapy — aimed at muscles, tendons, and connective tissue that are put under repeated stress during training or competition.

Key Features of Sports Massage:

Performance-oriented: Helps prepare muscles before activity and aids recovery afterward.
Dynamic techniques: Includes stretching and mobilization, not just pressure.
Sports injury prevention: Targets muscle groups before dysfunction becomes pain.
Adaptable: Can be adjusted based on where you are in your training cycle — pre-event, post-event, or maintenance.

What Is Deep Tissue Massage?

Deep tissue massage focuses on realigning deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue. It’s often recommended for chronic pain, postural problems, or specific areas of tension that aren’t responding to lighter therapeutic techniques.

This style uses slow strokes, sustained firm pressure, and specific maneuvers that reach below the superficial muscle tissue to the deeper layers where chronic knots and adhesions can form.

Key Features of Deep Tissue Massage:

Pressure-focused: More intense than a relaxation massage to reach deeper muscle layers.
Pain relief: Great for chronic muscle tension and stubborn tightness.
Structural correction: Can help break down adhesions and improve movement patterns.
Therapeutic, not just relaxing: Many clients find it intense but effective for long-term issues.

Sports Massage vs. Deep Tissue Massage: What’s the Difference?

At first glance, these two therapies might seem similar — both involve hands-on manual manipulation of soft tissue and can be firm in pressure. But their purpose, technique, and timing make them suited for different needs.

Sports massage is often integrated into training plans and can be preventative, helping keep athletes performing at their best. Deep tissue tends to be corrective, addressing issues that have built up over time.

Benefits of Sports Massage

Sports massage is more than “feeling good after a workout.” For those with an active lifestyle, especially in a place like Bend where outdoor recreation is a way of life, sports massage can make a practical difference in movement quality and recovery.

1. Enhances Performance: By increasing blood flow to muscles and promoting flexibility, sports massage helps your body perform more efficiently. Before a long run, hike, or bike ride, pre-activity sports massage can prime key muscle groups.

2. Speeds Recovery: After intense activity, your muscles experience microtears and inflammation. Sports massage encourages blood circulation and lymphatic flow, helping your body clear metabolic waste and speed tissue repair.

3. Prevents Injury: Targeted work on problem areas helps identify and correct imbalances before they turn into pain or injury. This is especially valuable if you’re training frequently or pushing your limits.

4. Improves Flexibility: Through assisted stretching and mobilization, sports massage increases joint range of motion — a key component of efficient, injury-free movement.

5. Reduces Muscle Soreness: Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) can slow you down. Massage helps ease stiffness and soreness so you can stay consistent with your activities.

Benefits of Deep Tissue Massage

If you struggle with chronic muscle tension, pain from postural habits, or long-standing movement restrictions, deep tissue massage may be the right choice.

1. Breaks Up Scar Tissue and Adhesions: When muscles repeatedly tighten, they can form dense bundles of tissue that restrict movement. Deep tissue work gently breaks through these adhesions in the muscle fibers, restoring smoother movement.

2. Alleviates Chronic Pain: Many clients come to us with neck, back, or shoulder pain that hasn’t responded to lighter therapies. Deep tissue massage can target the root of tension, not just the surface sensation.

3. Improves Posture and Movement Patterns: By addressing the muscles that pull you out of alignment, deep tissue massage supports better posture — which in turn reduces strain on joints and enhances how your body moves overall.

4. Supports Injury Rehabilitation: When used in coordination with other manual therapies like chiropractic care and therapeutic exercise, deep tissue massage can aid recovery from strains, repetitive use injuries, and compensatory patterns.

Which One Do You Need? Sports Massage or Deep Tissue Massage?

Choosing between sports and deep tissue massage depends on your goals, activity level, and the type of pain or restriction you’re experiencing.

Choose a Sports Massage If:

✔ You’re training regularly (run, bike, swim, ski, hike, etc.)

✔ You want to improve performance or prevent injury

✔ You want muscle prep before activity or recovery afterward

✔ Your main concern is tight muscles after workouts

Sports massage is ideal for active lifestyles — those who want to stay strong, mobile, and pain-free while enjoying activities unique to Central Oregon living.

Choose a Deep Tissue Massage If:

✔ You have chronic muscle tension or stiffness

✔ You experience recurring pain in the neck, back, or shoulders

✔ You’ve tried lighter massage with limited relief

✔ You want to address long-standing movement restrictions

Deep tissue work benefits those whose discomfort goes beyond typical post-workout soreness — people who want real changes in how their body feels and functions day to day.

How Sports and Deep Tissue Massage Complement Chiropractic Care

At Total Body Chiropractic in Bend, we believe in an integrated approach to healing and performance. Chiropractic care, exercise therapy, and massage each offer unique benefits — but together, they’re stronger.

Chiropractic Adjustments Improve Joint Function: Our chiropractors in Bend use precise adjustments to restore proper alignment and joint mobility. When joints move freely, muscles don’t have to compensate — reducing strain and improving posture.

Massage Prepares the Muscles: Sports or deep tissue massage works on soft tissues — muscles, fascia, and connective tissue — to reduce tension and increase flexibility. This makes chiropractic adjustments more effective and longer lasting.

Improved Muscle Balance: Massage helps muscles relax and lengthen, chiropractic treatment ensures joints are aligned properly, and therapeutic exercise strengthens the movement patterns you need to prevent future issues. This combination boosts performance and minimizes setbacks. For example, after a marathon, sports massage helps your muscles recover while chiropractic care addresses spinal alignment and nervous system function. If you’ve had chronic low-back stiffness, deep tissue massage loosens the tension while chiropractic adjustments correct joint mechanics and improve how you stand, walk, and move.

Better Pain Management: Many people come to us with persistent discomfort. Chiropractic care helps reduce nerve irritation and improve alignment, while massage alleviates muscle tension that often contributes to pain. Together, they create a comprehensive path to relief.

What to Expect in a Session

Whether you choose sports massage or deep tissue massage, we want you to feel informed and comfortable with what’s involved.

Sports Massage Session

Discussion of your goals, recent activity and individual needs
Warm-up techniques and muscle assessment
Combination of compression, stretching, and mobilization
Targeted work on specific muscle groups
Tips for recovery (hydration, stretching, self-care

Deep Tissue Massage Session

Focused assessment of chronic tension areas
Sustained, slow pressure to release deeper muscle layers
Work on adhesions and areas of restriction
Post-session care guidance (hydration, heat/ice, gentle movement)

Both types of massage are performed by our trained, compassionate therapists who tailor the session to your comfort and goals.

How to Choose What’s Best for You

Here are a few questions to ask yourself (or bring to your appointment):

Is your pain recent and activity-related? Sports massage might help you recover faster and stay active.
Is your pain long-standing or recurring? Deep tissue massage could be more effective at addressing the underlying tension.
Are you training for an event or performance goal? Sports massage fits well into training plans.
Does your discomfort feel structural or deep? Deep tissue assists with deeper muscle layers and chronic restrictions.
Do you also want alignment work? Combine massage with chiropractic care for best results.

Our chiropractors in Bend and massage team will help you decide the most effective path forward — customized for your body and lifestyle.

Take the Next Step Toward Better Movement and Less Pain

Whether you’re dealing with performance-related muscle soreness or deeper, persistent tension, sports massage and deep tissue massage both play valuable roles in your wellness plan. When paired with expert chiropractic care from our team in Bend, they create a powerful partnership that helps you feel better, move better, and stay active in the ways you love.

Chiropractic Laser Therapy for Plantar Fasciitis Relief

If you’ve read our blog posts (like how we support Bend trail runners), you know we don’t chase symptoms—we target root causes. Structural imbalances, faulty biomechanics and chronically inflamed tissues are the real culprits. That’s where low-level laser therapy fits so beautifully into our chiropractic toolkit.

At Total Body Chiropractic, we use a Medray Quad Class IV laser (combining wavelengths of 650 nm, 810 nm, 915 nm, and 980 nm and up to 30.2 watts of power). This multi-wavelength system allows us to treat both superficial and deeper tissue layers in one shot. (You can read more about our laser therapy setup on our services page.)

Why does that matter? Because plantar fasciitis isn’t just superficial tissue inflammation—it often involves deeper micro-tears, scar formation, adhesions, nerve irritability and vascular compromise. The laser enables us to address all of that in a non-invasive, precise, healing-focused way for immediate relief from foot pain.

We love laser therapy for plantar fasciitis because:

It’s non-surgical, non-invasive, and gentle—no needles, no incisions.
It modulates inflammation and calms nerve irritation, which helps ease persistent heel pain.
It boosts cellular repair via photobiomodulation, accelerating blood flow and the healing process.
It synergizes with adjustments and soft-tissue care—calmer tissues respond better to alignment work.
It fits our philosophy: we combine tech and touch to treat both structure and biology.

We don’t rely on laser alone. But when added to a comprehensive plan of structural correction, soft tissue work and movement rehab, this conservative treatment becomes a very powerful ally in plantar fasciitis recovery.

How We Use Laser Therapy for Plantar Fasciitis (At Our Bend Clinic)

Let’s walk through exactly how we apply laser therapy as part of treating chronic heel pain — so you know what to expect when you come see us.

1. Thorough Evaluation & Customized Planning

Our first meeting is all about listening and observing—a systematic review of the issues. We’ll discuss:

The timeline and pattern of your heel pain—when it started, what aggravates or eases it.
Previous treatments you’ve tried (stretching, medications, orthotics, steroid injections, etc.).
Your foot alignment, gait, posture and compensations in ankles, knees, hips or spine.
Palpation of the plantar fascia, calf muscles, Achilles tendon and intrinsic foot tissues.
Range of motion, flexibility, strength and kinetic chain function.

From that, we develop a treatment roadmap. Laser treatment is a core tool, but we combine it with adjustments, soft-tissue work, biomechanics correction, therapeutic exercises and sometimes custom orthotics or taping.

2. Laser Session Protocol

Once your plan is set, the laser treatment portion goes something like this:

You lie comfortably, exposing the bottom of the heel, underside of foot and possibly into the calf or midfoot structures.
We use the Medray handheld applicator, sweeping over tender zones of the damaged plantar fascia, heel pad and connected soft tissues.
Because the laser has multiple wavelengths, we target both superficial and deeper tissue structures in the affected area in one session.
We tailor the dosage (energy delivered, duration, pulsing vs. continuous) based on how chronic the condition is and how the tissues respond.
Many patients feel nothing—or only a mild warming or tingling in the area. There are no needles, no downtime.
A typical session lasts 8–12 minutes (sometimes a bit more, depending on the size of the region we treat).

3. Frequency & Progression

Here’s how we usually structure the schedule:

Acute phase: 3–4 treatments per week initially, to calm inflammation and reduce plantar fasciitis pain.
Mid phase: As symptoms ease, shift to 2–3 per week with deeper dosing and more focus on tissue repair.
Later / maintenance phase: 1–2 per week, then taper out as your function normalizes.

Over a typical 4–6 week timeframe, many plantar fasciitis sufferers see substantial improvement—and we continue with maintenance checks to prevent relapse.

4. Complementary Chiropractic & Soft Tissue Techniques

Laser is a tool, not a standalone cure. We layer on:

Chiropractic adjustments of the foot, ankle, knee, hip or spine to reduce aberrant stresses.
Soft tissue/fascial work (Graston technique, instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization and myofascial release) to break adhesions and restore glide.
Stretching & strengthening programs focused on calves, intrinsic foot muscles and glutes and core to remove mechanical tension on the fascia.
Taping, bracing or orthotics if needed to offload stress during the healing window.
Gait re-education and movement coaching to adjust how you walk, run or stand in daily life.

This integrated method is what differentiates us from “laser-only” clinics. We want you to heal deeply and not just get temporary relief.

5. Ongoing Monitoring & Tweaking

We track your progress using:

Pain scales (morning first step, daily averages, activity-induced).
Functional outcomes (how far you walk, how long you stand, how it feels during activity).
Physical palpation, tissue feel and symmetry checks.
If needed, we adjust laser doses, revisit biomechanics or change your rehab plan.

If something stalls, we don’t just keep pushing the same protocol—we dig into why and adapt.

Why Many of Our Patients See Big Gains

In our Bend practice, patients often tell us they’ve tried all the traditional treatments —stretching, orthotics and cortisone shots—with only temporary relief. Here’s what they often experience with our laser + chiropractic approach:

Faster pain relief: Because laser energy acts on inflammation and nerve sensitivity directly, many people feel relief within the first few visits.
Reduced dependence on pain meds: Less need to manage symptoms with anti-inflammatories or injections.
Deeper healing: Rather than forcing healing (as injections do), laser supports tissue’s own regenerative pathways.
Lower recurrence risk: Because we correct mechanical contributors, rebuild tissue resilience, and keep check-ins, flare-ups tend to be fewer.
Active life preserved: Short sessions, minimal downtime—not disruptive to your week.

We’ve seen folks in Bend go from hobbling around to returning to trail runs, weekend hikes or just enjoying walking without dread of their first step.

What You Can Expect as a Patient at Our Clinic

Here’s how a laser-enhanced plantar fasciitis program with us typically feels:

First Appointment

History, exam, biomechanics, palpation.
We explain your plan—including where laser fits in.
We may begin with a laser session (if appropriate) or soft-tissue prep.

Subsequent Visits

Each laser session is short, comfortable and integrated with manual care.
You’ll get homework: stretches, strength drills, maybe taping, movement cues.
We’ll check response and adjust treatment pacing or dosage.
Throughout, we keep communication open—“How’s the pain this morning? After your walk?”

Results & Maintenance

Many patients feel meaningful improvement by week 2 or 3.
After full course, you’ll often transition into a maintenance schedule (monthly or as needed).
We also give ongoing tweaks to your movement, alignment and load to prevent re-injury.

We aim to help you not just heal temporarily—but build foot resilience so you don’t see us again for plantar fasciitis.

FAQ: Laser Therapy & Plantar Fasciitis at Total Body Chiropractic

Is this safe? Yes. Class IV laser therapy, when used by trained professionals, is a safe, effective treatment. It’s non-invasive and generally well tolerated. Some people report mild soreness like after a workout—but serious side effects are rare.
Does it hurt? Not typically. Most people feel gentle warmth or slight tingling. Because we control dosing carefully, we avoid overheating or discomfort.
How many sessions will I need? It depends. Acute cases may resolve in 6–8 sessions. More chronic cases might need 10–15, then tapering maintenance. We customize based on your response.
When will I notice improvement? Some patients see changes after the first couple sessions. For most, improvements accumulate week to week—less pain, more flexibility, better tissue feel.
Can laser therapy completely replace other treatments? It can for many people—but our preference is to integrate laser with adjustments, soft-tissue care and rehab. For some severe or structural cases, surgery might still be necessary, but we often help reduce or avoid that.
Are there any people who shouldn’t get laser therapy? You shouldn’t get laser therapy if you have cancer in the area being treated, are pregnant (especially over the belly), have uncontrolled bleeding problems or have health conditions that make you very sensitive to light. We always screen carefully before beginning.
Will insurance cover laser therapy? Coverage varies. Some of our patients pay out-of-pocket or use flexible spending accounts. We’re happy to help you check with your provider and provide documentation if needed.
Can I combine this with your chiropractic adjustments and exercise plan? Definitely. That’s exactly how we use it. The calmer, more responsive tissues make chiropractic adjustments more effective—and your rehab work more sustainable.

Final Thoughts from Our Bend Team

At Total Body Chiropractic, we believe movement is medicine—and we don’t settle for half-measures. Plantar fasciitis may feel like an inevitable ailment for foot-heavy folks, but it doesn’t have to be your story. By bringing together structural care, laser-enhanced tissue healing, soft-tissue work and guided movement, we offer a pathway off the pain treadmill.

If you live in Bend and the surrounding areas and heel pain is slowing you down, we invite you to make an appointment. Let’s talk about whether Class IV laser therapy is the right form of regenerative medicine for you. You don’t have to live another morning dreading your first step. Let’s shine a little light on that fascia—and get you back to walking, running and all your daily activities, pain free!

Unlock Lasting Pain Relief with Laser Therapy and Chiropractic Care

There’s growing interest today in safe, non-invasive solutions for overcoming back pain and restoring a sense of normalcy. While prescription medications and surgery are common approaches to managing pain, they often come with significant drawbacks, including lengthy recovery times and unwanted side effects. As a result, many Oregonians are seeking out more natural, effective alternatives that support healing and long-term wellness.

At Total Body Chiropractic, our Bend chiropractors understand your concerns—and we’re here to help. That’s why we’re proud to offer laser therapy, a cutting-edge, effective treatment now available alongside our trusted and highly effective chiropractic care. This powerful, science-backed combination not only accelerates your healing and reduces pain but also expands our ability to treat a broader range of conditions than ever before.

Ready to hike Pilot Butte, play with your kids, enjoy sports, or work comfortably at your desk—without relying on painkillers? With the support of laser therapy combined with chiropractic care, it’s entirely possible. Let’s take a closer look at how this innovative therapy works and what you can expect when you visit your trusted chiropractor in Bend, Oregon.

What is Laser Therapy?

Let’s discuss what “laser therapy” means. You may have heard of it as Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) or cold laser therapy. It uses the healing power of photons to help you self-heal. Surgical lasers usually cut or burn skin tissue; however, LLLT uses gentle, focused light energy to stimulate cellular activity in injured tissue beneath the skin. So, no heat, discomfort, damage, or scarring.

When you come for your laser therapy session in Bend, our chiropractors direct a specialized device over the injured area of your body. Penetrating deep into your tissues, this light energizes your cells to boost blood circulation and trigger a series of natural self-healing processes. That’s how LLLT accelerates tissue repair, reducing inflammation & providing immediate pain relief.

Treatment plans vary but most conditions can be treated with a few times a week to start. This method has been authenticated by many studies stating that LLLT has fewer side effects, is perfect for older patients, works like magic in pain management, helps your body heal faster, and provides quick pain relief. Our FDA-cleared laser device lets us treat a range of conditions, such as these:

Soft tissue injuries, such as sprains and strains
Joint pain in the knees, shoulders, wrists, or ankles
Inflammation from overuse, repetitive motion, or acute trauma
Tendonitis and bursitis, which often resist other treatments

Why Combine Laser Therapy and Chiropractic Care?

Did you know that 1,800 chiropractic physicians operate in the Beaver State? Annually, around 35 million Americans see a chiropractor. But our Bend chiropractors recommend combining the much-appreciated laser therapy with their usual methods due to “synergy.” It means that these treatment options complement each other’s therapeutic effects, helping you recover faster. With laser therapy, your tissues get ample light energy that reduces inflammation and calms your overactive nerves. As a result, your body becomes more receptive to chiropractic adjustments.

Our chiropractors can realign your spine and joints with greater precision and comfort, restoring healthy movement and function. They aim to ensure that your body’s overall structure supports optimal healing. When your spine and joints are moving in the right direction, you will see a 100% improvement in blood flow. That’s why research says that chiropractic care is an affordable, drug-free method for alleviating chronic pain. Using this laser-chiro combination, our Bend-based chiropractic team offer these benefits:

Faster recovery from injury: Laser therapy accelerates tissue repair, while chiropractic care restores alignment. You heal quickly and thoroughly, so you can get back to your favorite activities.
Reduced muscle tension and joint stress: The laser calms inflamed tissues, making spinal adjustments easier and more comfortable. You experience less soreness and faster relief.
Improved mobility and long-term outcomes: By addressing both pain and underlying causes, you enjoy better movement and lasting results.

Our Bend chiropractors see these benefits daily. Athletes bounce back from sprains and strains. Parents find relief from chronic back or neck pain. Older adults manage arthritis-related joint pain and regain independence. Whether you are recovering from a recent injury or managing a long-standing condition, this combination offers a clear path to wellness.

What Conditions Are Best Treated Together?

At Total Body Chiropractic, we tailor every treatment plan to your unique needs and wellness goals. Using an amazing combo of laser therapy and chiropractic care, our experts in Bend can provide relief for range of conditions from chronic back pain to sports injuries:

Musculoskeletal Pain

For this kind of pain, a blend of laser therapy and chiropractic can prove quite beneficial.

Back and Neck Pain: Studies show that blending laser therapy with chiropractic care is a wonderful treatment option for back pain. Laser therapy soothes your tense muscles and our expert chiropractors restore alignment. They can relieve nerve pressure and help you move freely again.
Muscle Strains: Overworked muscles respond quickly to laser therapy. It boosts cellular repair and reduces swelling. With chiropractic adjustments, you can return to your daily routine with less risk of reinjury.

Joint Conditions

If you have a joint condition, this is what our laser-chiro treatment can do for you:

Arthritis: Your daily life can become quite challenging with joint pain/stiffness. With laser therapy, your joints will become less inflamed and more mobile.
Frozen Shoulder: This condition limits your shoulder’s movement and takes months to resolve. However, laser therapy reduces inflammation in the joint capsule, and chiropractic mobilizations restore movement.

Nerve-Related Issues

This process helps people experiencing these problems:

Sciatica: This nerve pain radiates from your lower back, moving down your leg. It happens because of spinal misalignment or a herniated disc. So, this combo will calm your irritated nerves via inflammation reduction while relieving pressure on the sciatic nerve.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Nerve compression in your wrist can lead to a tingling feeling or numbness in your hand (or arm). Laser-chiro treats the inflammation and ensures that your wrist is aligning perfectly with your spine.

Post-Surgical Recovery or Injury Rehab

Your body takes time to heal after surgery. Laser energy quickens the tissue recovery process, reducing the formation of scars. Our chiropractors help restore routine movement patterns while preventing compensatory injuries. Together, these two therapies easily support a smoother, more complete recovery. That’s how you can get back to living fully.

No matter your condition, our Bend chiropractors will create a personalized plan to target your pain, speed your healing, and help you reclaim your active lifestyle.

Is It Safe? Does It Hurt? What Should I Expect?

Laser therapy is a safe, non-invasive, and drug-free treatment option for pain management and healing. Unlike traditional methods that may involve medications or surgery, deep tissue laser therapy has minimal side effects. It works by using low-level light that penetrates the skin without damaging surrounding tissues. The device used in our clinic is FDA-approved, and our chiropractors are professionally trained to administer the therapy with precision and care for targeted treatment.

Most patients report feeling nothing more than a gentle warmth during the session—if anything at all. There are no needles, no incisions, and no downtime. It’s a comfortable, relaxing experience that’s easy to fit into your day. You can even come in during your lunch break and head right back to your normal routine afterward.

During your visit to our Bend chiropractic clinic, we’ll begin by assessing your condition and determining the best treatment plan for your needs. A typical laser therapy session lasts just a few minutes, depending on the area being treated. The laser is applied directly to the skin over the affected area, where it gets to work stimulating cellular repair, reducing inflammation, and easing pain. While some people experience immediate relief, others notice improvement after a few sessions—especially when combined with chiropractic care.

How Often Should You Get These Treatments?

You’re probably wondering how often you should receive laser therapy treatment. The frequency largely depends on your individual goals and how your body responds to the therapy. For acute conditions—such as a recent sprain or strain—our chiropractors typically recommend starting with 2 to 3 sessions per week to effectively jumpstart your body’s natural healing process.

When it comes to chronic pain or long-standing issues, you might visit less often. Your sessions will then be spaced out over several weeks or even months. Our Bend chiropractor will create a highly personalized care plan based on your early assessment. Our goal is always to help you achieve lasting relief and independence, so you can return to your favorite activities as quickly and safely as possible.

Final Thoughts: Is Laser Therapy Right for You?

Are you tired of living with pain? Do you feel frustrated by slow progress with other treatments? The ideal solution is chiropractic laser therapy for a holistic, non-invasive path to healing. At Total Body Chiropractic, our Bend chiropractors help you unlock your body’s own natural ability to heal.
