Hello Yogy . . . a tricky one as you need to balance protection against feel!

If the soreness is localised to a small area Thimble It adhesive pads may help

(Also have a look at the customers also bought section below the main entry).

But if it is an overall pain / soreness / stiffness then I can't think of anything that will provide coverage but still allow you to work effectively. You'll have to reach for some Deep Heat or Proflex cream after the event!!!
