Shoyb Hossain – After a tragic incident, it is very important to be cautious about invisible wounds!
Even without being a direct victim of a major disaster such as a fire, explosion, or plane crash, we can still be mentally affected. Witnessing horrifying scenes, being startled by loud noises, or seeing the death/injury of loved ones or acquaintances—all these create deep wounds in the body and mind.
These wounds may not be visible immediately, but in the long run, they can lead to various physical and mental illnesses, such as:
Headaches
Neck or back stiffness
Insomnia
Nerve weakness
Loss of appetite
Digestive issues
Anxiety, depression, lack of focus
Trauma-related disorders
Why Primary Supportive Therapy is Important
In such situations, it is important for everyone to know and practice some primary supportive therapy methods, such as:
Massage therapy
Simple exercises
Manual therapy
Light physiotherapy
These methods help keep the body and mind balanced without the use of medicine. Each is simple, affordable, and scientifically proven.
Massage Therapy
Using natural oils like coconut, sesame, or black seed oil, slightly warmed and massaged on shoulders, neck, back, stomach, or legs:
Improves blood circulation
Softens muscles
Relaxes nerves
Just 10–15 minutes of daily massage helps reduce sleep problems, headaches, and mental stress.
Navel Therapy
Gently pressing around the navel with fingers in a circular motion for 5–7 minutes:
Restores nerve balance
Improves digestion
Promotes sleep and mental relaxation
Practice once in the morning and once at night.
Hot Massage
Applying a warm water pad or hot water bottle to the neck, shoulders, or back for 10 minutes:
Calms the nerves
Reduces muscle tension
Improves blood flow
Simple Exercises
Morning and evening exercises reduce mental stress and physical stiffness:
Deep breathing – inhale for 3 seconds, exhale for 5 seconds
Neck rotation – right-left, front-back
Rubbing palms and placing over eyes – relaxes eyes and nerves
Chanting “So Hum” or “Om” – improves focus
Wall push or firm fist clench – activates nerves
Just 5–7 minutes, twice a day, can be beneficial.
Manual Therapy
With a trained therapist: gentle pulling, tapping, or rotating of the neck, shoulders, back, or knees:
Keeps nerves and joints active
Restores body flexibility
Simple Physiotherapy Methods
Passive movement therapy – assistant gently moves patient’s arms/legs
Coordination therapy – light movement with breathing
Stretching exercises – wall push, firm fist clench
Additional Advice
If someone stops eating, refuses medical care, or behaves abnormally—
Arrange simple nutrition/diet support
Apply reflexology, aromatherapy, cupping (Hijama), or detox methods
Consult a doctor without delay
Why This is Necessary
Mental trauma and fear do not only stay in the mind; they also affect the body. If not released, they can turn into serious illnesses in the future.
These simple therapies help prevent such problems without medicine.
Conclusion & Call to Action
The physical and mental damage caused by a single tragic moment can lead to long-term problems. It is urgent to introduce these methods at home and in educational institutions.
If government offices, conscious citizens, teachers, parents, health professionals, and local/international organizations come forward, the health of countless people can be protected at low cost.
Start practicing at least one of these methods today for your health and the well-being of your loved ones.
