Greetings Thomas,

I am sure that some of the other members could explain the physics better.  
Here is my understanding.  

After a dive, your body can be likened to a full champagne bottle.  The 
different tissues are contain excess dissolved gas, the degree of which 
depends on the effectiveness of your decompression.  Exercise creates 
turbulence in the blood vessels, which is like "shaking the bottle," and this 
can promote bubble formation.
The risk factors vary with the dive, your bottom gas, decompression 
technique, your off gassing physiology and the surface interval.  So-- don't 
shake the bottle when it's still full of gas.

David
