Injured for a year - hamstring tendonitis?

After running more of less continually for the last 20 years I haven't run at all for 12 months now and am having no luck with various therapies.
Basically the whole of my left leg seized up and I was put on naproxen by the doctor. Have since seen an osteo, chiropractor and physio (who was rubbish - didn't want to work on my leg at all, just provide me with rehab exercises which I could have got from a book) through work insurance. I also had an MRI scan and it came back with no slipped discs (possibly a bulging one) but they thought the main issue was hamstring tendonitis.
The issue is though the pain, a dull ache that is on the lower half of my hamstring, not the top. Just wondering if anyone could help or advise of any excellent therapists (I live in London)

I had an hamstring origin injury once, took a good 9 months to heal properly but I was able to run and manage it meanwhile.
