A power shower will raise the pressure (like a pressure washer) but they can't increase the flowrate - remember pumps push water not pull it.
If you've got good cold water pressure coming into the house (and the combi boiler is the limiting factor with hot, for whatever reason), then they are probably a decent option - 1 bar = 10m elevation and system losses shouldn't be large due to (relatively) low flow rates.
Edit: FWIW, our main shower head is ~6m higher than the house main and with a 35Kw combi, we get a 'hotel quality' experience!
