Low flow showerheads and faucets aerators can reduce home water consumption and heating costs by as much as 50%. Faucet aerators replace the faucet ghead screen, lowering the flow by adding air to the spray. Low-flow shower heads either draws in air or have it forced into the water stream by using compressed air.
The simplest and lowest cost solution is to replace the shower head with one designed to increase the pressure.
Mixer valve
Shower faucets are typically made out of linoleum metal. They use this kind of metal because it is resistant to all sorts of soap scum and will not block water flow.
There may be debris or sediment blocking the water flow specifically to the bathtub and shower faucets, which is not affecting the toilet and sink faucets. This could be due to a clog in the pipes leading to the bathtub and shower, or an issue with the faucet itself. It is recommended to check and clean the aerators or call a plumber to investigate further.

Many tub/shower valves are designed to be used either as a tub only or as a tub-shower combo. You will note that the valves have inlets on the sides for the hot & cold water supply, and outlets top and bottom for directing water either to the tub or diverted to the shower head. By plugging the bottom outlet with the appropriate plug and either soldering or wrapping the threads with teflon tape, the valve directs the water to the shower head.

To effectively repair shower faucets for proper functionality and water flow, start by turning off the water supply to the shower. Remove the faucet handle and inspect the cartridge or valve for any damage or buildup. Clean or replace the damaged parts as needed. Reassemble the faucet and test for leaks and proper water flow before turning the water supply back on.
There are three main types of shower faucet handles available for purchase: single-handle, double-handle, and thermostatic. Single-handle faucets have one lever for controlling both water temperature and flow. Double-handle faucets have separate handles for hot and cold water. Thermostatic faucets have a built-in temperature control to maintain a consistent water temperature.
A lot of the new shower fixtures (especially the lever styles) have a "scald protection" feature built into the fixture. This will prevent the water from getting as hot a the sink faucets, by eliminating only hot water from coming out.
