We do not kiss injured part, but instead, we put one hand on injured part when saying first "pain, pain" and then move the hand away as the gesture of getting rid of the pain by throwing it away when saying the "go away~" part. soa natural?

The sentence is too long for ease of reading, first. I would break it down to "We do not kiss the injured part. Instead, we first say "pain, pain" and put one hand on the injured part. Then we move the hand away to make it like we are throwing it away when we say "go away".
Also, it's not clear from your sentence where the "go away" comes in, is it before or after "pain, pain". So my interpretation isn't perfect either, but it gives you an idea, hopefully.

Thank you davidosu. Your interpretation is actually perfect. I was trying to explain Japanese version of "kiss it better" called "pain, pain, go away". So "go away" comes after "pain, pain".

Ugh. "Then we move the hand away to make it like we are throwing the pain away when we say 'go away'." Using "it" here instead of "the pain" is ambiguous. It could mean throwing away the injured part. :)
