Hi,
All of your symptoms suggest partially cerebral ( head ache, pressure behind eyes)& remaining cervical (neck)vertebral involvement.
You are undergoing physiotherapy is alright but reassessment of the symptoms for excluding brain cortex&cerebral pressure is needful at this stage.
Thids would help in managing present problems &preventing progress in future. Please consult a nurologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
