Testing TvA Function

Question:
With the exercise Abdominal Draw Leg Slide, you can use the blood pressure cuff as a bio-feedback. I have always read that you would pump the cuff to 40mmhg and then you activate the TvA by drawing in the belly button towards the spine. Then you would increase the pressure by 20-30mmhg. When you are standing, you wouldn't flatten your back whenever the TvA is activated. I have never had it fully explained why it is necessary to increase the pressure. So my question is why?
