Below is a very good video where a Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist explains palpation of the sacrospinous ligament on physical exam.
The sacrospinous ligament (SSL) is a connective tissue structure that spans from the sacrum to the ischial spine, hence the name sacrospinous (i.e., sacro – spinous).
However, despite being called the “sacrospinous” ligament, this ligament also has attachments to the coccyx.
