During the first hour after you rise, your disks are plumped from your overnight horizontal position.Adding the pressure of exercise — whether it is movement as in running, stretching, or lifting weights or moment pressure, a term used to describe the pressure that occurs when you push the vacuum cleaner or do planks, for instance, increases intervertebral pressure.
