The ones that I am used to are in the shower head. You have to remove the shower head or nozzle using a wrench. The restrictor should be right in the front where it connects to the pipe. It's just usually a small piece of plastic that only allows so much water to pass through. Remove that and you can put the shower head back on. If the fitting leaks you may need to get some Teflon tape to wrap around the threads when you put it back on. Have a good shower.

Can you add an extra shower head to your shower just by cutting a tee into the shower head riser or will you lose pressure to both heads?
Yes, you can install a tee in the riser. The pressure loss will be minimal since both shower heads will have a flow restrictor unless you remove them. If you remove them, you probably wont notice any difference. If you do notice a difference, put the flow restrictor back in the closest shower head to the shower valve.
