I had an implant placed a year ago, and I enjoy walking for 1–2 hours every day; will this affect the health of the implant?

Nick, I don’t walk 1 to 2 hours a day but I ride my road bike 2 to 3 hours every other day for an average of 140 miles a week. I’ve had my implant for 5 years and I haven’t had any problems.

Knock on wood! Pun intended

Walking is fine. There is some concern with biking or motorcycles because of compression and jarring of the pump area. That can probably be mitigated by choice of saddle and behaviors.

Most folks just seem to go about their normal activities, and that appears to work out fine. Maybe don’t enter bull riding or bronco events at the local rodeo….

I've had my implant 8 years now. For a while, I walked 3-5 miles every day or so and even did a 5k race. I don't walk as much anymore but I play pickleball for 2-3 hours at a time and have done so for about 5 years. No problems of any kind. So I don't have empirical research to support it, but anecdotally I can tell you that the activity has caused no trouble for me.

Best wishes.
