An apparatus for electrostimulation has a whole-body support and electrodes disposed in the support. The electrodes are disposed in pairs, relative to a center longitudinal axis of the t apparatus, and are configured so that they can be controlled one after the other or simillt~i~leously. A method for controlling multiple electrodes in an apparatus for electrostimulation disposes the electrodes in or on the apparatus for electrostimulation, which has a support for part of the body or for the whole body. The electrodes are configured so that they can be controlled one after the other or simultaneously. The electrodes are controIled individually or in pairs, with regard to a duration andfor an intensity of the stimulation. Figure 0 1 1 ' C
