I would think the SpaceOar would be even more helpful when having photon radiation as the radiation continues out the body.
I do know (I had Space/Oar) was a warning not to ride a bike as could possible move the gel.

Much went into my decision to still use SpaceOAR Vue even though I was receiving proton radiation with its Bragg-Peak characteristics. It was additional insurance just in case…..
As for not riding a bike after injecting SpaceOAR, recommendations vary. Some say to avoid strenuous/heavy exercise/lifting for a couple of days, and running/jogging for a couple of weeks, and bicycle/motorcycle riding for a few weeks. (The guidance for Barrigel might be different, since it remains sculptable for a while after injection. I’m not sure what the rules are for the newer product BioProtect.)
