Walling

 
Wikipedia: Walling
 

Walling is a method of interrogation that consists of stressing an individual by placing his heels against a wall and repeatedly having his body slammed into the wall by interrogator. The intent of walling is for the individual's shoulder blades to hit a flexible wall specifically constructed to create a loud noise as to scare the individual into believing excessive damage to his body was underway[1].

Commented on in a memo written by Stephen G. Bradbury, a Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General during the Bush administration, Walling "involves what may be characterized as rough handling," not involving a threat of imminent death. However, regardless the lack of danger or physical harm, this act has been regarded by some to be torture.
