I think that the perception you felt (pain) tells you where the boundary begins! :)
The events that you mention, a foot or head hitting something solid resulting in pain, do not in any way constitute grounds for non-conceptual boundaries. Events involving strikes and pain happen in the absence of real boundaries. The boundaries that you consider to exist between a foot or head, and what is not that foot or head (what surrounds them), are conceptual boundaries. They exist conceptually. They do not exist in some other way, it couldn't work. The idea is fundamentally unsound.
