"ma tête me fait mal" why not "la tête" since "me fait" already indicates it's your own head ?

As the lesson specifies, you use the personal pronoun also when special emphasis is put on the body part. I assume that's the case in the sentence you quote. However, without knowing the context that's impossible to tell.
