Pier Francesco Parra is an Italian physician getting some publicity from tennis players lining up outside his hotel room to receive treatment:
Nor do they have one for a magician, which is one of Parra’s nicknames. No matter. Open players already recognize him because of his three-laser healing machine. The mysterious device makes him the tennis version of Dr. James Andrews, the much-sought-after surgeon who treats baseball’s broken pitchers in Birmingham, Ala.

Kudos to McEnroe for calling it what it is, placebo.
Right, laser is a placebo. People with knee pain need to be taking a proven analgesic medication, like VIOXX or Celebrex.
