muscle tension = active psychological issue = blocked energy

This isn't even necessarily *how things are*, which is where things get funky because the way you practice has constructive effects, or can change what is/isn't salient...something like that.
So some of the practices which make use of energy practices — which I think is an ok term — deliberately adopt a sort of map of the body which isn't like our usual ideas.....and this can have a sort of protective effect. It can help prevent people hurting themselves.

There are lots of different ways of working and different ways of understanding - but to bring this back to the OP, I think equating 'energy blockages' with physical tensions pains with specific psychological/emotional information, could be a bit messy. There is some overlap.

eg: some of the yogas understand the knots in the energetic system as reflecting our patterns from past action, which can play out psychologically, or we get sick in doing the yoga practices, which is a _bit_ like healing a trauma perhaps. But thats a bit round peg square hole.
