A pad assembly according to the invention is used for mounting a current generator for applying a therapeutic electrical current to an area of human skin. Such an assembly includes a pad comprising a thin, flexible, stretchable plastic film that conforms to human skin, which pad has electrical paths printed on an underside thereof with electrically conductive ink. Each of the paths include a terminal and a conductive contact for connection to a current generator. A pair of layers of an electrically conductive adhesive such as a hydrogel are disposed over the terminals at spaced positions for conducting electrical current to human skin underlying the terminals. A fixture secured to the pad is configured for mounting the current generator a manner effective to conduct current from the current generator to the terminals of the pad.
