Body scan w/o looking cross-eyed?

I just finished a Vipassana retreat (Goenka teaching) and struggled a lot with tension headaches. I figured they resulted from me looking cross-eyed (with my eyes closed) trying to “see” the different body parts (which I still do), but they did go away after the retreat was over which caused me to think that it was also a mentally driven symptom (old sankara’s manifesting itself).

Now that I’m back to real life I however have the tension headaches again after I’ve sat for an hour and I feel like I still haven’t been able to scan my body without wanting to use my eyes.

I should note that I suffered two concussions before which mostly gave me headaches, but not these types of headaches as much.

Would love any advice on scanning my body without using my eyes.
