Either self-flagellation or corporal mortification is a proper term.

flagellation is the ACT of physically punishing oneself. Ascetism is the practice. Ascetism also can include fasting and chastity.

Corporal mortification.
I finished this book not 10 minutes ago. Not a bad read, I must say. Don't know why people got so wound up about it.

Self-mortification or self-flagellation. (Those are the terms for the act itself; one can do this with no religious overtones if one wishes to.)
