Most dizzy pts that are above 65 have sensorial degenerative ataxia which has no treatment. If pt takes blood pressure medicines orthostasis is very common.

Need specialized PT: Physical therapy can help dizziness if it's due to certain causes. For vertigo, there are maneuvers that a specialized therapist can do to retrain the inner ear to sense the head's position in space. If it is due to low blood pressure when standing, some exercises can stimulate veins in legs to more briskly return blood to the heart when upright. Both require specialized centers, not generic pt.
