Remove the shower head, careful not to damage the finish - use a cloth and an adjustable wrench. With the head removed, use a Phillips head screw driver and unscrew the plastic restrictor. After the restrictor is a screen which might need to be cleaned. I had to remove the restrictor from mine because it caused the shower to squeal.
