Dr. Manuel E. Valle, DC, CCSP
Serving the Tri-Valley since 2006 • Founder of In Motion Sports & Family Chiropractic
Dr. Manuel Valle is a Certified Chiropractic Sports Practitioner (CCSP) and graduate of Life Chiropractic College West. He began serving patients in the Livermore area in 2006 during his clinical preceptorship, returning again in 2007 during his postceptorship while awaiting licensure. In 2008, he opened In Motion Sports & Family Chiropractic to create a practice centered on thorough evaluations, hands-on treatment, and personalized patient care.
Dr. Valle specializes in a movement-based approach to chiropractic care that combines precise chiropractic adjustments, advanced soft tissue therapy, and functional rehabilitation.
He has extensive training in soft tissue treatment methods including Active Release Techniques® (ART), instrument-assisted soft tissue therapy, and therapeutic taping applications such as Kinesio® Tape and RockTape®. He is also certified in Functional Movement Systems, including SFMA (Selective Functional Movement Assessment) and FMS (Functional Movement Screen), which help identify movement dysfunctions, muscular imbalances, and weaknesses throughout the body’s kinetic chain.
By combining chiropractic care with soft tissue therapy and corrective exercise, Dr. Valle focuses on identifying the root cause of pain and dysfunction, not just the symptoms. His goal is to restore proper movement, improve resilience, and help patients return to the activities they enjoy.
Throughout his career, Dr. Valle has worked with athletes at a variety of sporting events including marathons and triathlons across Northern California and has provided care for athletes in sports ranging from endurance events to strength training and combat sports.
Today, Dr. Valle works with athletes, active individuals, and families who want to recover from injury, improve mobility, and maintain long-term physical health.
Outside the clinic, Dr. Valle enjoys spending time with his family, hunting and fishing, camping, mountain biking, training, and staying active in the outdoors.
