The first thing a Norristown plumber will do when called to your house because of low water pressure in a shower, but no place else in the house, is to remove the shower head and check the pressure without the shower head (leave the arm coming out of the wall so the water is directed down into the shower).
If you have good water volume coming out of the shower head arm, then you just need to clean or replace the shower head. Household vinegar dissolves the buildup of scale and rust from the inside of the shower head and other residential plumbing fixtures. To remove these deposits, set the shower head in a bowl of vinegar overnight.
In addition, check the flow restrictor inside the female end of the shower head to see if there is debris. The flow restrictor is generally removable so you can work on it in the light.
