George started ‘Wilsonhealth’ in August 2003 and thus made available an affordable and unique centre for testing health and fitness under scientific conditions. The centre has been described as ‘an MOT for the body’!

The Wilsonhealth client base includes world-class elite athletes, such as ex-British super-middleweight champion Tony Dodson, ex-professional international footballers - Dave Watson, Alan Kennedy, and John Aldridge, and top flat racing jockey Francis Norton.

In the past, George has advised several professional and semi-professional soccer teams, including LutonTown and Southport FC. In addition, George has written, and contributed to, several articles on exercise physiology.  He is also a regular guest on both Radio City and Radio Merseyside discussing professionally related topics.

The majority of the current client base range from club recreational athletes with sport specific testing, such as anaerobic threshold testing, across to individuals with a plethora of pathological conditions (hypertension, type 1 and 2 diabetics, Parkinson's disease, high cholesterol, clinical obesity, etc).
