An apparatus, for providing therapeutic electrical signals has a plurality of sets of electrodes, each set of electrodes comprising at least two electrodes for applying the therapeutic electrical signal to a user. The electrodes (60) are arranged on a flexible platform (50) which can substantially conform to surfaces of the user. In one embodiment, the sets of electrodes (60) comprise at least three electrodes arranged in a substantially chevron pattern with a centre electrode having the opposite potential to the side electrode. Different types of therapeutic electrical signals are generated by a signal generator (24) applying a base wave within a frequency of about 150 KHz to 180 KHz at different frequencies between about 2 to 100 times in a second. A switch selectively switches the different types of therapeutic electrical signals in the predetermined pattern and can decrease the therapeutic electrical signals from its maximum to its minimum within about 0.1 to 0.01 microseconds.
